A mere nine months since the publication of On the Night Watch (and that book appeared within a year of his acclaimed For All We Know and Collected Poems), Until Before After accumulates as an intriguing meditation on the passage of time and the persistence of love. Miraculously, this ever-shapeshifting author distils form to a new austerity while comprehending the imponderable / toll time // takes . Acts of recreation and creation, of forgetting and remembering, fathom the mine-shaft // of until and relate how the present moment is constantly threatened and, by definition, defeated. Otherwise / is where we are, he writes, following a series of heart-rending hospital scenes, before both took that step / over a threshold in an instance of recovery and return, a haunting presence and continuing present, that prevails in a shared intimacy of feeling and the single notes that become a music that is made and played together.
