We do not wait for seasons; the new year never begins, and the old year ends as always, timelessly. Raphael Urweider highlights the astonishing fruits that the study of the present bears.

Branches diverge, are never alone; a branch is only wood when it is alone." Ten years after his last highly acclaimed poetry collections, a delightfully surprising poet returns.
