- Summary:
- Patrick Friesen's newest collection is a haunting ode to the lives we have felt too briefly, known only in passing, and yearn to hold still. While those who loved the dead keen softly between his lines, Friesen invokes their loss as one remembers a cool breath on the back of the neck, a faint shadow on a headstone, a watermark on the bedstand. With wisdom, beauty, and invention, Friesen walks us through the graveyard of humankind where a symphony of voices still conduct the lives left behind long after they depart flesh for spirit.
