Summary

Poised and buoyant, musing among ironies; alive to the psychologies of weather, night noises, mowing the lawn and putting it off; knowing the many mindscapes of neighborhood, detecting the places where myth surfaces into a backyard or long weekend, where a situation teeters on the brink of art and "imagined creatures are making / real connections" -- what is Closer To Home is domestic life that has been given back its dance, the bite and mystery that both provokes and eludes the grasp of the mind.
