This second collection by award-winning poet Philip Dacey runs the gamut from existential mysteries to domestic dramas. Dacey writes in both traditional and free verse forms, and organizes these selections into four sections whose focus gradually shifts from the inexplicable phenomena of apple-doors to the cultural otherworldliness of a foreign country, in Spanish artifacts. The third section, nipples rise to spirit, traces a child's growth to middle age, with particular reference to sex and family, while the presence of Presence redefines the religious experience.
