<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"These poems find the strange and beautiful in everyday moments: visiting a deli, flying on a plane, sitting on the back steps, noticing a stray cottonwood tuft, recalling a walk with a child now grown. In this poet's gaze, each element of the quotidian becomes particular, luminous, and finally, universal."-Rebecca Foust<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"These poems find the strange and beautiful in everyday moments: visiting a<br /> deli, flying on a plane, sitting on the back steps, noticing a stray cottonwood<br /> tuft, recalling a walk with a child now grown. In this poet's gaze, each element<br /> of the quotidian becomes particular, luminous, and finally, universal. This<br /> effect comes from fresh and powerful imagery; from surprising diction, <br /> uniquely-apt words used in new ways, as in 'each of us / hung out to die, a<br /> wish out of water.' The poems move with a freedom born of familiarity with<br /> meter and rhyme, and the lines reverberate with subtle music."<br /> --Rebecca Foust, Marin County Poet Laureate and<br /> author of <em>Paradise Drive</em>, winner of the Press 53 Award for Poetry</p><p><br /> "<em>The Marriage of Space and Time</em> is more often than not local in its concerns, <br /> even intimate. Such is the nature of this particular marriage, in which we all<br /> live. And die. This ongoing here and now. Also then. 'Our sorrows meet in one<br /> shadow, ' he writes; later on, he concludes, 'I'm old. I'm coming to life.' Myers<br /> aims to see as closely and accurately as he can, and in his seeing, he gives his<br /> readers a way to see as well, and thus to be genuinely alive, in our own time<br /> and space, for as long as we have it."<br /> --Robert Wrigley, author of <em>Box</em> and<br /> T<em>he Church of Omnivorous Light: Selected Poems</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"These poems find the strange and beautiful in everyday moments: visiting a<br /> deli, flying on a plane, sitting on the back steps, noticing a stray cottonwood<br /> tuft, recalling a walk with a child now grown.
