Eric G. Müller's writing gives voice to that orphaned part of our human experience: that numinous dimension of life where few of our common words dare to tread. In his new book he traverses a wide scope of subjects and spans a breadth of experiences, taking us through a tour of the themes that have fired his imagination over the last few decades. He illuminates places, quiet spaces, the seen and the unseen, and unsuspected flashes of consciousness with verbal alacrity and a wonderful sense of sound. With playful forms, quirky moments that often elude our attention, and his sheer delight at what language can do to the soul, Müller nudges his readers along with him as he inches us toward that frontier where new possibilities of language can warm, surprise, and inspire us.

Excerpt

A Date

I’ve got a date with

Destiny.

My calendar’s full of them.

But I lost it

On my way down.

And now,

Every day

I’ve got reason

To be worried

In case I miss

Important appointments.

And worse –

I’ll never know

Who I’ve disappointed,

What tasks left undone.

So I put on my shoes

And try to sense my way ahead

And try to sense my way ahead

And hope that providence

Will remember the

Where and when;

Remind me of the

How and why, or just

Prod me along.
