The Runner's Almanac

Author: Indran Amirthanayagam

Publisher: Spuyten Duyvil (2024)

"These poems pulsate with intense energy and light drawn from the universe. A prayer and companion for every season, they evoke a sense of marvel and intimacy at once. You become the runner, soaring, seeing the road and trees and passing birds through the poet’s eyes. You speak without speaking, cry in silence and laugh in cascades of flooding water. Wise and attentive to precision, imbued with lyrical finesse, these poems testify to the power of poetry as a lode star."
