In his first full book of poetry, Alan Hilfiker explores two central themes that have defined his creative work for decades: the beauty and order of the natural world, and the experience of aging through the function and muse of memory. From the perspective of a cobblestone street in Germany, to an elderly woman about to write her last will, to a carefully decorated Appalachian fireplace mantle, Sources of the Morning invites the reader, in accessible language, to contemplate the question: what sacred balance of past and present, man and nature, spirit and the material, makes a life?

PRAISE FOR SOURCES OF THE MORNING

Alan Hilfiker's poetry captures and presents emotion in life-be it human or animal or nature at large-and presents it in vivid pictures, asking both what happened and what could have happened. This book is an excellent collection of observations of what it means to look more deeply into the mysteries of existence. -Berdjouhi Esmerian, co-author of According To Us
