Tiny Moments

In the fifth volume of "Tiny Moments," readers will discover more great poems that freeze-frame singular moments: a hawk defending its perch on a dying locust tree as crows gather, a mother and daughter sharing midnight quesadillas after an unexpected return home, a final lunch at an elegant restaurant with a dying loved one. From quiet observations of nature-summer wind flirting with birch leaves, the trill of a blackbird, the jagged silhouette of mountains softened by sunset-to deeply personal moments of human connection and loss, these works capture how time both stands still and rushes forward. A kid rounds third base, a grandmother's quilt lies folded on a shelf, dreams collect in corners-each snapshot transforms the everyday into the eternal.
