Description
The title, Regarding Wave, reflects “a half-buried series of word origins dating back through the Indo-European language: intersections of energy, woman, song and ’Gone Beyond Wisdom.’” Central to the work is a cycle of songs for Snyder’s wife, Masa, and their first son, Kai.
Excerpt
Making toast, heating coffee,
blue as Shiva—
did I drink some filthy poison
will I ever leam to love?
Did I really have to kill my sick, sick cat.
