John Weier’s writing slips between genres and moods—it’s surprising and occasionally exacting. Selected from a writing career of more than forty years, these poems are lyrical and reflective, steeped in travel and the natural world, but always against a backdrop of loss. Including an imaginative and thorough introduction by editor Nathan Dueck and an afterword by the poet, this volume also presents a suite of new work which reveals that John Weier’s perceptive questioning of self and world is as keen as ever.
