The final sections are composed of verses that can also be read as parts of two longer, interconnected poems. \"The Occupied Mind\" enticingly pulls us deeper into philosophical questions and answers about the needs of the mind and the ambiguities of love. The central conceit of \"Minutes\" offers sixty meditations that are both a measure of time and testimony, as well as a witnessing and confession of what takes place within a changing relationship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConfronting the riddles and dualities of mind and heart, \u003ci\u003eKnots \u003c\/i\u003eprovokes a layered interplay of reason, paradox, code, and cipher from our daily thinking and feeling.
