Even the most ordinary moments are infused with an awareness of the lost past and a kind of prescience of the future. From one setting to another, these poems give voice to the human longing for permanence, home and connection in the face of a constantly changing reality.

In Brief Landing on the Earth's Surface, even the most ordinary moments are infused with an awareness of the lost past and a kind of prescience of the future. From one setting to another--Tidewater Virginia, rural Pennsylvania, Greece, New York City--these poems give voice to the human longing for permanence, home, and connection. This is a book about central issues in human life, full of fresh, accurate figures of speech. It's written with grace and passion, and deserves and will reward readers.
