A literary sanctuary for what Shakespeare called āsessions of sweet silent thought,ā this exquisite gathering of poems speaks to the consolations of solitude. Here is Wordsworth wandering ālonely as a cloudā; Poe confiding āall I loved, I loved aloneā; Yeatsās communion with āthe deep heartās coreā; and Han Shanās heart of a hermit, āclean as a white lotus.ā From Sir Edward Dyerās āMy Mind to Me a Kingdom Is,ā to the spiritual searching of the Transcendentalists, to the meditative verse of Jorie Graham, some of the most indelible poems from every time and culture have grown out of the aloneness inherent in the poetās art. The poems collected here, whether reflecting on the soul or on nature, addressing an absent loved one, or honoring the self, form a book of respite and contemplation, and a beautiful tribute to the interior life.
