From this slight remove, Fanny Howe explores the edge of \"pure seeing\" and the worldly griefs she encounters there, cast in an otherworldly light. These poems layer pasture and tarmac, the skies above where airline passengers are compressed with their thoughts and the ground where miseries accumulate, alongside comedies, in the figures of children in a park. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLove can do little but walk with the person and suddenly vanish, and that recurrent abandonment makes it necessary for these poems to find a balance between seeing and believing. For Howe, that balance is found in the Word, spoken in language, in music, in and on the wind, as invisible and continuous lyric thinking heard by the thinker alone. These are poems animated by belief and unbelief. \u003ci\u003eLove and I\u003c\/i\u003e fulfills Howe's philosophy of Bewilderment.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFanny Howe\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Needle's Eye\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCome and See\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Winter Sun. \u003c\/i\u003eHer most recent poetry collection, \u003ci\u003eSecond Childhood\u003c\/i\u003e, was a finalist for the National Book Award, and her fiction has been a finalist for the Man Booker International Prize.
