A Hundred Pairs of Eyes - Paperback

by Carole Croll (Author)

Clouds, voluminous and plush; complexities of water; the Milky Way, a bale fire / in the amplitude of cold unmeasured space; and trees and deer with much to teach us. I let you find me./I let you see me/. I/let you know me/they say. Carole Croll's A Hundred Pairs of Eyes invites us to see and to listen with our whole selves, for a day is meant/to be filled out, filled in, filled/ up and over. Because this is a book about a natural world brimming with delights and challenges, it is also a book about time, the realization that Anything can happen// in the fraction of a...., and thus, as with all poetry written out of craft and compassion, it is a book about language, that tended place, where each word, rich, the real/ kind, the kind that leaves a trace, nourishes and renews.
