Waters' muse is Walt Whitman and, like much of Whitman's work, his poems challenge us to abide one another and embrace humanity's imperfections. Viewing curiosities in a medical museum, Waters asks: "How then can I forget/ these jars stuffed with the invisible/ masses who touch us in our dreams, who steep/ our yearnings in their milky waters?" These generous poems, crafted syllable by syllable, speak to love and loss, our foibles and shortcomings, and the possibility of aesthetic and spiritual transcendence. About the Author Michael Waters is Professor of English at Salisbury University in Maryland where he teaches creative writing and American literature. He has published six collections of poetry, including three from BOA Editions and three from Carnegie Mellon University Press.
