Momently - Paperback

by Zach Savich (Author)

Dandelion fences, twine wires, shoebox roses: Savich's fanciful, stark meditations showcase the momentary and the momentous.

Momently is a collection of meditative but probing poems that ask questions of the tangible and the ephemeral, in which the every day is given a new weight. The celebrated poet's latest collection deepens his exploration of the delicate and the durable, of entropy and its remainders, offering an "ethics of deciding to see."
Momently stays alert to "the language you can stand when you can't stand language," cultivating insights and instances that may sustain us "here, where not even ruin lasts."
