Snow in a Silver Bowl (Downloadable PDF)
Snow in a silver bowl is a Chinese concept which hints at what lies beyond appearance. Sorensen’s book traces the ancient world out of the immediate present, from the Lascaux cave paintings to the death of a dear friend; from the Zen gardens of Kyoto to a grandson folding origami. Moving through memory, art, and psychic terrain, Sorensen offers a generous poetics of attention, teaching us to look at the stark beauty of things as they are.

Spruce Boughs
Abandoned, utterly
in the unknowing,
I trust the way
fresh snow lies gently
on spruce boughs this morning,
the way the light
falls softly over wide fields,
and how the morning star
shines up there
in the brightening sky.
