Weatherbox

Starting with a Charles Wright quote that emphasizes taking a hard look at one's surroundings, poems in Timothy Geiger s Weatherbox look deep into both the rush of everyday experience, and the ruins of memory. From the "hammered grace/ of a goldfinch mid-air" to "the bare foot-trails/ furrowed beneath/ the abandoned swingset" the imagery and imagination in these poems become prayers, or stories, or meditations, striving for the hardest answers from the forces that drive our common humanity.
