The poems in Near-Life Experience consider, above all, ideas of attentiveness: to art and experience, to nature and imagination; to the present moment as it happens, what it offers, leaves behind, and means.
The poems in Near-Life Experience are curious about the present moment, its weather and animals, its objects and things. They want to make it real in language, catching it before it vanishes. Documenting landscapes, paintings, insects and trees, Near-Life Experience offers a world where understanding is subverted by the day s distractions and the unexpected shapes of the imagination.How do I relate to this? What does it mean? What s happening, exactly? Does experience experience me? With descriptive precision and inventiveness, the poet finds humour and panic at the edges of the actual. The poems measure expanding and contracting times, birthdays, seasons, climate breakdown, witnessing the moment and its sheer / ongoing changes .
