Once Houses Could Fly
In Once Houses Could Fly, ten kayakers snail along the rugged fjords of Ellesmere Island in the High Arctic. These poems speak of the bite and beauty of weather and the limits it sets on us. Beginner’s prowess ends in taking inventory of thumbs and “aging’s howl,” yet the light’s redemptive peace settles all distress, and what lasts is the quiet gratitude that overtakes the narrator, as the journey sets the pace for the soul to catch up with the body.
