"Bodiless, like wisps of smoke on windless days / they rose," begins one poem in this collection. "Not the holy spirit or the granules of the past, / but strands of memory freed up of their own will." With his trademark blend of poignancy and humor, and what a fellow poet has called the "quiet fireworks" of his language, Moran has drawn together many floating strands--not just memories, but also dreams, emotions, events, reactions, musings, images--and woven them into poetry.
