Summary

When the heart is touched, it wants to sing songs of recognized experience. Call it poetry, for then image, cadence, and word melt together as one. This audiobook of poems is about such experiences. That depth of feeling encompasses both desolation and consolation and so brings the listener close to the pulse of life, to joy, the thinnest layer.
