Our Time on Earth

By: Nepo, Mark

The joy in sharing poems is that we only have to drink from one authentic cup to quench our thirst. But we never know which cup will be the one for you, which is why we offer many.

There are 365 poems in this collection, drawn from fifty years of Mark Nepo's work. The selected poems are from ten published books, and the newer poems are from eight volumes currently in manuscript. For Mark, seeking friendship in nature and with others has been the heart of the journey. These poems have been and continue to be dear friends along the way. It's a humbling journey, leafing through a lifetime of work. Mark has described feeling like a worker bee, buzzing around nectar, trying to make honey. Until, every once in a while, he sticks his head up, surprised at the trail of poems behind him. His hope is that something here quenches your thirst. He hopes some image or insight touches you in a way that wakes you to the strength and vulnerability you already have that will help you go on.
