He writes with equal care about a calligrapher's brush and the catastrophes of war, about snowfall and legacy, about remaining awake to beauty without turning away from harm. Rather than circling a single autobiographical self, these poems open into something more spacious: a way of being in the world that readers are invited to share.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eClearing the Stream\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates a half-century of Dennis Maloney's poetic journey with a collection that longs to hold the world gently: 'We are fragile vessels \/ anchoring sky to earth.' I so admire how these poems carry a deep compassion for stillness, for life, and for the natural world. His work offers the kind of clarity and grace we need in this present moment-meditations, moments like a shimmering streetlight asking: 'How is your world?' Maloney's poems are at once lyrical and political, intimate and expansive, responding to the question: 'What shall remain \/ as my legacy? And what is the answer? ' Presence, birdsong, snowfall, a calligrapher's brush, memory, beauty. What a radiant collection, what an offering of a life lived in poetry, what an absolutely stunning book of poems for us to hold.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Kelli Russell Agodon, author of Accidental Devotions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"With Clearing the Stream, Dennis Maloney gathers the currents of a half century of his deep and abiding relationship with the page.

This book contains a half of a century of meticulous, clear-headed study of the self, not who it is, but what it is, yet the poems are never, ever about the self. They float free of a single identity, which is beautiful and rare.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Chase Twichell, author of \u003cem\u003eThings As It Is\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 156\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 29, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53753929302323,"sku":"9781964295169","price":32.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/RjDA5rNYOe9781964295169_7ce1214c-3240-4a8e-9166-a7de1d62d391.webp?v=1785295747","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/clearing-the-stream-new-selected-poems-1975-2025-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
