From waking where \"mortality meets me \/ face to face each day\" (\"A Certain Chill\") to being \"a dream of some sleeper's indulgence\" (\"Hall of Mirrors\"), Majors' engagement with his subject is honest and heartfelt, sharing with the reader his pain as \"I thought of my own un-holiness . . . . \/ I thought of a thousand ways to die\" (\"Heat Lightning\"). This collection explores one person's relationship with nature, with God, and with self and examines the question of a life well lived when loss and loneliness have crept past the joy like the \"Winter Sun\" \"a hollow thought \/ after the light has done its work.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBruce Majors has published poems in \u003cem\u003ePirene's Fountain\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOntologica\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWordgathering\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eArts and Letters\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePinesong\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Distillery\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRiver Poets Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eNumber One\u003c\/em\u003e, and other fine literary journals.
