More DescriptionIn autumnal, the poet faces mortality in a variety of ways: poems about dialysis, aging hands, a emptiness and poignant acceptance of things as they are. Throughout is a sense that life prospers in the shadow of death, that the very limitedness of life's journeys gives meaning to man's activities. There are poems about non-being, about a strange visitor in an empty town, about a walk during which the author finds meaning in limitation.

The book is a rich symphony of varying tones that sums up a life lived fully and intensely.
