LIGHT’S LADDER

Book ID/图书代码： 13569019C00050

English Summary/英文概要： In this extraordinary new collection by distinguished poet Christopher Howell, the opening poem presents us with a spiritual paradox that will echo throughout its pages. The speaker remembers an earlier time of happiness, freedom, and a certain innocence. The poem closes with:

And if he remembers now he is in love, which is the soul’s condition, and alone because that is how we live.

"How we live" is the book’s major inquiry; its illustration, the poems’ major achievement. How do we live, in our dailiness, in our loves, our private and global wars? And, in the face of unbearable grief, how can we live?
