Over and over, through offers of food and a listening ear, connections form across distances. Strangers find common ground. These poems capture scenes with lyrical precision: Emily Dickinson shares homemade cake; a dawn house fire sends neighbors tapping at the window for help; a family gathers for a loved one's final hours. In other snapshots from the collection, a stranger guides the lost poet through the streets of Togo's capital city. These are poems that delight in the natural world, even in wildflowers tucked next to buildings.
