North & East

What does it mean to be somewhere, anywhere? Sit with that thought, dear reader, and you may notice that geography and history, perception and memory, things and words, the self and its surrounds ceaselessly reverse into each other. In his most recent collection of poems, North & East: Daybooks, Andrew Mossin sits zazen with "this principle of drift" in a superbly crafted meditation on the interzone between here and there.
