Here and there the commonplace lends itself to the not-so-common question: What is the odd relationship between power, terror, and beauty? Why are human beings torn between staying put and moving-in intellectual and spiritual as well as physical terms? And how much of who we are is composed of who we were? Rife with insight, At Home on This Moveable Earth is as wonderfully readable as the first two volumes of Kloefkorn's memoirs, a thoughtful tour of a curious character's life so far and a model of retrospective introspection. William Kloefkorn is Nebraska's state poet and emeritus professor of English at Nebraska Wesleyan University. He is the author of many volumes of poetry and several memoirs: This Death by Drowning (1997), Restoring the Burnt Child (2003), At Home on this Moveable Earth (2006), and most recently, Breathing in the Fullness of Time (2009), all published by the University of Nebraska Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Kloefkorn (1932-2011) was an emeritus professor of English at Nebraska Wesleyan University and Nebraska's state poet.
