In The Wave-Maker, the pilgrim soul, in its various guises, meditates upon its own slow becoming, finding humble companions in creatures as unlikely as a lowly snail, a prehistoric coelacanth, or a tiny Japanese netsuke of a badger disguised as a monk. For Spires, life is a pilgrimage as well as a deepening - birth, death, and transformation - all part of a seamless continuum. Although lightened by the poet's wit, the weight that each pilgrim soul carries is not without mortal gravity. The eloquent simplicity of Frost's best nature poems is here, along with the power of more contemplative poets and ecstatic mystics like Rumi. Possessed of a calm, crystalline sense of eternity, the poems in this striking volume invite fellow travelers to sit for a little while and be cleansed of the dust of existence.
