Synopsis
Cast as a dialogue among six interlocuters, this lyric, pensive blend of poetry and prose considers light from a variety of perspectives—philosophical, physical, ethical, and metaphorical—all of them beautiful. As with so much of Roubaud’s work, a delicate humor and a deep compassion engage to create a lovely and responsible text.

ELENI SIKELIANOS is a poet and translator based in Boulder, Colorado. Her book The Monster Lives of Boys & Girls won the National Poetry Series and was published in 2003. She teaches at the University of Denver.
