The poems in this collection capture the spiritual element in the ore of common experience. The everyday breaks into the numinous and the sacred is fused with the ordinary. Human pain, brokenness, memory and the borders of mystical vision.
In a variety of moods and forms the poems in this collection attempt to capture something of the spiritual element that resides in the ore of common experience. They range from sing-song verse to taut lines embodying struggle. In some the everyday breaks into the numinous, in others the sacred is fused with ordinariness, even comedy. Irony has a prophetic edge, and human pain and brokenness, entangled with memory, border a mystical vision.
