The poems in The Night Guard at the Wilberforce Hotel navigate the
evanescent boundaries between the public and the private self.
Daniel Anderson's settings are often social but never fail to turn
inward, drowning out the chatter of conversation to quietly observe
the truths that we simultaneously share and withhold from one
another - even as we visit friends, celebrate a young couple's
union, or eavesdrop on the conversations of others. These twenty
poems include meditations on teaching hungover undergraduates, wine
tasting among snobs, and engaging the war on terror from the
comfort of the suburbs. They are alternately driven by ornamental
language that seeks to clarify and crystallize the beauties of our
common world and the poet's faith that fellowship ultimately trumps
partisanship. Even as they weigh and measure the darkness of the
heart and the sometimes rash and stingy movements of the mind, the
poems refrain from pronouncing judgment on their characters. As
much as they ponder, they also celebrate in exact, careful, and
loving terms the haunting and bracing stimuli from which they
originate.
