Night Fishing

"Let us live long enough to say we have seen eternity through the window of our time, and that we believe it will stick." —'On Evolution: Just in Time' In these new poems about friendship, mortality, and home, Brian Turner asks how we can face the truths and uncertainties of our experiences and how we can live with them. Night Fishing is defined by Turner's unmistakable wit and feeling, precision and insight.
