Applewhite has undertaken to capture, in the manner of Monet's
serial paintings, the momentary registration of light on the world
around-and on the world within as well, for light is also the
poet's metaphor for meaning and understanding.-Kelly Cherry These
poems record the partly predictable, partly random representative
days in a year that inspire wonder at their swiftness. Seasonal
time is reflected in the changing angle of sunlight, and familial
time is marked by birthdays and holiday celebrations. Public events
take on both a sense of history and a sense of unreality in the
bright glare of media attention and shiny celebrity surfaces. All
the various time-orders in which we live overlay one another: a red
leaf adrift in a stream is emblematic of autumn's recurrence; after
years of marriage, a couple's wedding suddenly seems very close.
Spurred by the sensation of accelerating days at the turn of the
new millennium, James Applewhite explores the interplay of
immediate experience and lasting memory, of continuity and change,
over time-that elusive, ineffable, yet crucial medium of
self-definition and of understanding the cosmos.
