Everywhere We Are

by Bogen, Don
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781968274085

In this luminous collection, a poet confronts illness, loss, and the inexorable passage of time. Opening with "Prayer," an urgent invocation that braids medical precision with erotic tenderness, the book moves through five sections exploring how beloved presences dissolve into memory, landscape, and the natural world.

With extraordinary formal range -- from compressed lyrics to expansive meditations like the sequence "Eight Waterscapes" -- these poems employ remarkable intelligence to hold sorrow within aesthetic structure. Whether photographing winter shadows or contemplating waters where ashes have dispersed, the speaker seeks patterns of meaning where technical control becomes a way of negotiating with grief. If the dead are "everywhere we are," then memory becomes ubiquity, and verse a dwelling place where loss and presence coexist.
