Here, in language at once elegant and agile, intimate and universal, the author probes beneath the surface of happenstance, moving with depth, humor, and compassion into the heart of our shared predicament: that of loving what we cannot keep. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut if time in these poems is relative, it bends toward grace--even, as the title suggests, toward consolation. Taken together, the poems invite us to raise a glass to the way we're each \"held light and golden in Time's mouth,\" and to savor something of the eternal--distilled, sparkling, already lost--inside every now.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Maier\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eNow, Now\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDark Alphabet\u003c\/i\u003e, which was named one of Ten Remarkable Books of 2006 by the Academy of American Poets and was shortlisted for the 2008 Poets' Prize.
