Description
These poems celebrate the words that crunch against each other or glide along without seams, exploring in detail a single, curious idea. The subjects are the varied ones that interest Atwill, from the mundane happenings in the garden to classic questions of existence. Objects around the house have their own stories and a group of nine poems describe some events during a Grand Tour of Europe with his family, long ago. Atwill has lived in Santa Fe for many years, painting canvases of the New Mexico landscape and his garden, and writing stories about a painter's life.
