Sky Open Again

Knowing full well that the vantage point influences the observer's perspective, Lombardo examines the incongruities, paradoxes and imperfections of daily life. Simple scenes, like a train stopping at a station or hitchhiking or registering at a hotel, are tapped for the mysteries and magic inherent in them. In this collection of prose poems, Lombardo takes the reader -- from the deserts of the Southwest to the familiar stone walls, forests and coastal islands of New England -- on a journey dedicated to discovering the richness of the imagination.
