This Eye Is for Seeing Stars

"The body...keeps / being brought / further into time, must reconfigure here / with there." So states the poem "This Eye" from This Eye Is for Seeing Stars, a book that puts time and one's relationship to it under a microscope. These poems offer a mother's tender ruminations as she watches her child encounter the complexities of the world, moving through cities in the speaker's present and past, through loss and a child's imagination. This Eye Is for Seeing Stars depicts a world in which nothing holds still and the everyday moments of our lives serve as a testament to our common humanity and to seeing the world anew both through and because of another person's eyes.
