Light in Dark Objects

by Brian Henderson

Light in Dark Objects exposes inner life in a kiss or in the movement of water on the shore of a lake. The poems speak from our true homes hidden beneath the surface of the world we see, from that river of memories and absences that is the true heart of things.
