With remarkable courage and clarity, the poet explores themes of mortality and reflection in his final poems. The collection begins with a striking sequence that offers a bird's-eye view of life, capturing the essence of looking back as one prepares to journey into the unknown. Through myth and memory, Longenbach addresses the complexities of love and loss, creating a powerful symmetry among this volume and his previous works, Forever and Earthling. Together, they delve into the ordinary and extraordinary moments that define human experience.
