Moving Still - poetry

A record of a peripatetic life, dispatches from those in-between moments in both time and space, highlighting the paradoxical intensities of transience.

This second volume of Tom McSorley's poetry wistfully ponders the awareness of being elsewhere, abroad, sometimes lost, often just passing through, near and far, but always alert to the immediate and historical present. There are poems here as well about being at home in his vast Canada and his encounters with people from other cultures, traditions, and expectations. Wherever he finds himself, though, McSorley's project is to seek to name that ache coloring our fleeting grasp of ourselves in time and the world.
