Approaching his subjects with the difficult task of describing their spirit without naming it directly, this collection is also a love letter—“Dear citizen stargazer”—to the known and unknown. A singular imagination is at work here, writing toward the unique and peculiar qualities of things and beings, displaying the relative similarities of all phenomena.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeoffrey Hilsabeck\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the chapbooks \u003ci\u003eThe Keepers of Secrets\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVaudeville\u003c\/i\u003e.
