This smart, lyrical collection explores the dangers of a world so complex that no single consciousness may grasp it-however much the attempt must be made. Following historical and imagined figures as they encounter specific moments or objects (such as Thomas Hariot in the Ameri-can Wilderness of the late 16th century), the poems attempt to record the unraveling of the safe and singular into a multiplicity of unknowns. Impelled by metaphor and lilting repetition, "North True South Bright "seeks a sense of the world, and ultimately, a sense of the Infinite.

The page is deaf that turns back to look at what it found." "In "North True South Bright," Dan Beachy-Quick proves the compass of his eye to be perfectly exact, precisely true. These poems are finely made contemporaries of sunlight. And, like sunlight, their history is Now."-Donald Revell
