In this intense, illuminating collection of poems, Sandra Beasley examines how intimacy is lost and gained during our travels.

Trade Review
"Sandra Beasley is a master poet of facts, story, feeling, and the slipknot statement that binds them together. Inventive, ingeniously fitted, musical, precise, unfettered, her poems etch and mirror the clarities and strangeness of our human lives. This irresistibly visionary book resembles to no small degree a cabinet of wonders. To every phenomenon and circumstance of the heart, its poems open, saying, Yes, this too I know; this too we are. Then add, Now, let us see further." -- Jane Hirshfield, author of Come, Thief
"Her lightness works best when it dapples her darkness—and when her darkness, as it often does, feels truly deep." -- Poetry
