A new collection of poems from Dan Lewis. Using optics as an overarching metaphor the collection explores layers of reality and mortality.

A cycle of short poems by Dan Lewis, winner of the 2012 Frank O'Hara Prize and author of the collection "This Garden."

These are finely crafted poems of extraordinary delicacy and infinite strength. There is a Whitman-like generosity of vision, remarkable intelligence, a heart as big as the world, and, always, this questioning, this sense of ongoing wonder. (From the cover blurb by John Hodgen)
