About the book:
Our efforts to contend with the weather connect us. These poems reflect on consciousness, language, and dream, exploring the ways time and space translate our lives as we contend with all types of inescapable weather.

A few nearby friends dropped off some beautiful bouquets from their gardens. And I ventured to Backstreet when I picked the boy up from work and came home with this Allan Ginsberg record. Also stopped at Forest Hill cemetery to say hi to a few poets.

We did not want to prolong his suffering. He was a really good boy, sweet and affectionate with an extraordinary personality. He will be missed. December 15, 2015 — August 1, 2025.

Unfortunately, the news from pathology was not good for Lambert and we made the difficult decision to put him to sleep this afternoon. Apparently it was an aggressive form of cancer and we could tell already his quality of life was affected.
