Description
Poetry. Religion & Spirituality. Relentlessly playful and celebratory, GO WITH ME meditates on life with young children, holding one's beloveds close, making art, embracing the death of a mentor—the proximate contiguous to the infinite, all and nothing, one and the other. Hayes sketches his lyrics against the canvas of interstellar space, the frame against which all else is known—mountains, rivers, wind, Disneyland—"a radical dispossession" wholly immersed in the immediate pleasures and discomforts of daily life. Joyous, even in the face of death and loss, go with me revels in presence: "this ravine and this gulley this runnel this other river another river this letter," this litany of loves neither punctuated nor constrained, present 'mid the plethora.
