In a collection that represents over thirty-five years of her
writing life, this distinguished poet explores a wide range of
subjects, which include her cultural and family history and reflect
her fascination with music and the discoveries offered by language.
In fact, her book is a testament to the miraculous power of
language to interpret and transform our world. It is a testament
that invites readers to share her vision of experiences we all have
in common: sorrow, tenderness, desire, the revelations of art, and
mortality - "the hard, dry smack of death against the glass". To
this community Mueller presents moments after moment where the
personal and public realms intersect, where lives ranging from her
own to those of Mary Shelley and Anton Webern illuminate the ways
in which history shapes our lives. In "Brendel Playing Schubert",
Mueller's breathtaking linguistic virtuosity reminds us how music
can transport us out of ourselves and into "the nowhere where the
enchanted live"; in "Midwinter Notes", the crepuscular world,
stripped of its veil, shines forth as a signal from some realm
where the sense of things may be revealed. In the title piece
Mueller brings a sense of enduring and unclouded wonder to a
recognition of all those whose lives might have been our own.
