Jorie Graham undertakes an extraordinary exploration of time in this collection of poems, considering it as it exists in nature, as it enters into human consciousness, and as it transforms itself under the pressure of history and of personal relations. The sequence begins with a prayer late in winter and ends on the day before Easter (the year's 'highest tide') with a sense of the poet waiting, listening for instruction.
