A late collection written from a vantage point of hindsight, when life is measured in new ways. The speaker walks, often through urban settings, with a loose and unforced alertness, noting light, remembrance and the feel of places. The contradictions of the present dodge him or push back. Remembering gives him fresh vocabulary that eavesdrops, exposes and closes, then starts building again, as he passes room by room through a dwelling made of moments.
