In this luminous collection of poetry, by Jay Heins, the ordinary becomes a portal to wonder, grief, and grace. These poems move through early mornings, late-night drives, changing seasons, quiet rooms, and pay attention to small moments. Birds at the feeder, a dog by the fire, a canoe cutting across a misty lake—each scene opens into memory and the steady passage of time. The poet traces the fragile geometry of connection and offers a gentle look at what it means to care for one another, to endure loss, and to notice small moments in the everyday.
