Chosen by the author, the 97 poems in this new volume highlight the versatility of a poet who moves easily between free verse, traditional forms, and prose poems. Familiar favorites are here, along with lesser-known poems that collectively round out a retrospective of the themes and concerns that have characterized this poet's work from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWarm, direct, and intimate, accessible even at their most enigmatic, seemingly effortless in their musicality, the poems are a meditation on the passage of time, transience, and mortality. Natural and seasonal cycles are a backdrop to human hopes and longings, to the mystery and grace to be found in ordinary moments, and the pleasures, sorrows, and puzzlements of being human in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Biblioasis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771961806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Robyn Sarah","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44848969285813,"sku":"9781771961806","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f58ceae1-f48c-409d-b96f-079085eeb571.jpg?v=1732634461","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wherever-we-mean-to-be-selected-poems-1975-2015-9781771961806","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
