Eamon Grennan is a writer who is able to find sensuality in the small gestures of the world--in the look of a firefly, the sound of a step, the tastes of a meal, the rhythm in things. A poet of immediacy and surprise, Grennan can turn our eye to objects caught in the light and suddenly transformed.
In So It Goes, Grennan maps a spiritual geography for the middle of life's journey: ahead he sees the dark thickets of mortality; behind, the vulnerability of childhood. This is a brilliant collection--at once celebratory and elegiac--by a poet whose work has been described as the "verbal equivalent of 17th century Dutch paintings."
"Eamon Grennan's writing brings us over and over again to the discovery of what is naturally so and had passed unrercognized."--W.S. Merwin
