Sinopse
Características

Daphne Gloag writes remarkable poems of cosmic scale. Yet, taking complex concepts, such as time and cosmology, as her references leads not to dense inaccessibility but to conversational meditations on the human condition. Essentially, her work is about love: effective and moving pieces about loss, about how we go on loving in the face of mortality, about what time might mean when weighed against the power of human emotion. In this exquisite sequence the carefulness of the research shines out, but even brighter is the enduring nature of love.ExtractThe giant sequoiaIt was a kind of pilgrimage we madetogether, to meet a giant sequoia standingat the top of a hill like a climax. Over three millenniait had grown towards the sky. I said, It is notyears of a tree were celebrating here,it is the years of time. We stood insidethe trunk as it it were a house. But he said, The morethe years pile up the nearer it comes to the endof time, its time. We were quiet, feeling the fearfor that great trunk no longer making statementon the sky but lying across the road of time, feeling too the fear for ourselves of what would fall across our time, the road blocked by a stop sign.
