The poet sings to ‘the congress of spotted turtles on a log,’ while ‘cats track sunbeams around the house’ and somewhere above us ‘the swirling eye of August, silent at its center, / contains whole flocks of birds.’ Magical things happen in this book. The poet shows us how to find beauty where we least expect it, in the quotidian, in the overlooked, in our own days.“ Ilya Kaminsky
