in flowers and grains of sand.
“These three lines from ‘Shrine’ sum up the poetry of Richard Lee Harris: simple words, perfectly chosen, resonating in space and time. From the northern edge of Alaska to the cafés of Seville, he leads an intensely personal journey, paradoxically austere and brimming with tenderness. Reimagine: Poems, 1993-2009 echoes with beauty and loss, clarity and grace—the stuff that dreams are made on.”
—Nick Jans, author of The Last Light Breaking
