Lost & Found: Poems Found All Around
Lost & Found: Poems Found All Around is a playful title that invites the reader into something familiar and yet strange. All of us have lost certain things, whether personal, trivial, sentimental, profound, and there exists in us a quality of yearning for those lost things. These poems suggest that’s what lost, or is not easily found, can be found, at least “for the time being, all we have,” through the agency of poetry.
Poetry is not something special and set apart, however precious it may sometimes appear to be. Rather, it’s the art of being alert and receptive to the clues that our language environment is throwing at us every day: what is worthy of attention and what makes our lives richer, more stimulating, more complex but also more peaceful and connected too.
To cite the first poem in the collection, “Frame,” poetry suggests a framework in which we can dwell on, and in, what it means to be fully human.
