The Long Journey Out
The poems in The Long Journey Out offer glimpses of the transcendent and ineffable — heightened rhapsodic perceptions arising from earlier, more empirical, observations. The world they describe is richly varied, culturally, spiritually, and linguistically. Yet threaded throughout this lyrical journey are these numinous moments – empathic intuitions poetry can serve. Having learned from his travels, the journeyer is freed to return home, confident that despite our socioeconomic and political fractures, everyday human existence is grounded in a shared, sacred mystery.
One of seven books longlisted for the North American Poetry Book Award.

“The more I read his classically poised, languorous poems, the more disturbingly beautiful they seem.”
“This is beautiful work, at once precise and direct, lush and evocative, poetry that lives up to the command to make it new.”
