| Summary |
Winter Amnesties is a book of origins and endings, griefs and reconciliations. Each poem addresses the dilemma posed by G.K. Chesterton: "One must somehow find a way of loving the world without trusting it." The poems revisit the past, assess the present, and stare hard into the future. At middle age, Glaser remembers his youth in Louisiana and settles into the long stretch of his adult years in Ohio; he makes his peace with "the life that allows." As son, as father, as poet, he looks to his legacy, whatever dim remnant of himself might continue after "all flesh falls back. |
