lightly

Author: Dan Schwerin

Publisher: Red Moon Press (2024)

Concrete, transcendent, liminal, humble, love; these are the words that arise in the mind as one reads Dan Schwerin's sijo collection, lightly. This poetic account of an internal and external journey courageously holds the antinomies of life in an open palm of wonder and compassion. The poles of duality interpenetrate and still remain themselves, and all is told with an unflinching lightness. This book is a true guide to living without choosing a side, and doing so with love.
