| Publisher Description: Close Reading illuminates moments in life when everything changes or comes into focus. Its poems of love, illness, artistic endeavour, spiritual and emotional awakening embrace taking time and contemplating deeply the flow of sensory experience. This lucid foray into encounters with artists and writers such as Cezanne, Paul Klee, John Donne, Robert Frost, or Floyd Skloot's mentor Thomas Kinsella, as well as family life, vertigo, and resonant personal places is a gentle, kind and inspiring journey |
