Inhaltsangabe

Time is slippery. At Some Point openly acknowledges this while exploring the intersections between past and present, childhood and adulthood, midlife and mortality. Joyously and solemnly tugging on the threads that connect us—to life, to the planet, to each other—David O’Connell finds meaning in the small things. An earworm, a sudden memory, the arrival of a fox in the neighborhood, even camaraderie among other patients awaiting colonoscopies—all are grist for O’Connell’s ability to view the world simultaneously anew and as it once appeared. From the quotidian to the profound, this is a collection that hovers around your consciousness, reshaping your own vision and insight.

“Unable to carry

their overloaded backpacks, my daughter
and her friends wheel them to school
like battered airline luggage, struggling

to pull them along their shortcut
through the cemetery. As they cross,
she tells me, they’ll each, out loud, say

I'm sorry, though she’s not sure who
started this, and, pressed, rolls her eyes,
embarrassed to admit the reasons they do.”

—Excerpt from “Intervale Cemetery”
