Writers from Bashō to Hardy, from Merwin to Porchia, inspire meditations on everything from artichokes to cosmology that somehow morph into fables of limitation and desire. This \"new poetry made the old way\" takes seriously the task of lightening and illuminating our experience, and especially, of distilling it. As Richardson writes, \"The road not taken also would have gotten me home.\" More than sixty poems of ten lines or fewer, and two sequences of Richardson's trademark aphorisms and \"ten-second essays,\" are set alongside surging lyric meditations and odes. \u003cem\u003eFor Now\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates nows of every length, from the sweep of cosmic evolution, to the span of a life, to the glint of dew on a cold shovel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Richardson is the author of nine books of poetry and two critical studies.
