S.J. White focuses his photographer's eye on the solitude that can confront Everyman, and gathers it into four aspects of experience. These poems reflect the brilliance of nature ("... the sky distilled / into its elemental light"), murmur the words of trees ("I am the seed the need the forest breed"), and explore the intricacies of old age, place, time and space.
