Selected from six award-winning books, this volume collects the best of Twichell's meditative and startling poems. A longtime student of Zen Buddhism, Twichell probes how the self changes over time and how the perception of self affects the history and meaning of our lives. Her poems exhibit a deep and urgent love of the natural world amidst ecological decimation, while also delving into childhood memories and the surprise and nourishment that come from radical shifts in perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat etiquette holds us back\u003cbr\u003efrom more intimate speech, \u003cbr\u003eespecially now, at the end of the world?\u003cbr\u003eCan't we begin a conversation\u003cbr\u003ehere in the vestibule, \u003cbr\u003ethen gradually move it inside?\u003cbr\u003eWhat holds us back\u003cbr\u003efrom saying things outright?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChase Twichell\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of six books of poetry and the best-selling writer's manual \u003ci\u003ePractice of Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e.
