The title of this collection of poems employs the word mourning in
a manner that expands the strict definition of the word and crosses
the ordinary boundaries of the senses, where color, time, and place
are triggers to memory and experience. The reader will be taken on
an odyssey including sixteenth-century England, the ancient hills
of Spain, a Renoir painting in Ft. Worth, a precarious cliffside
inn on California's Highway One, a rare-book library in the heart
of Houston, a high-school gym in Georgia, an East Texas pine
forest, and the violet crowned hills of Austin. The forays
collected in this volume always return to Texas, most notably
Austin, where the power of childhood memories shed light on the
author's life experiences during the pivotal periods of the sixties
and seventies. Examples include poems chronicling the day of the
University of Texas tower sniper tragedy and the award winning poem
"Night Hawk," recording the time that the poet ran face to chest
into LBJ in a popular restaurant, a poem, like the writer's
collection, recapturing unique and complicated times with irony,
wit, and joyful mourning.
