Table of contents: title: The moment is dear to us, precisely because it is so fugitive, Stanley Kunitz once wrote.  And it is somewhat of a paradox  that poets should spend a lifetime hunting for the magic that will make the moment stay. With a precision of craft and a tenderness of heart, Linda Annas Ferguson has found a way to make it stay.  From Adam’s first meticulous naming, to a stripper’s deliberate moves, to Janice Joplin’s final song, Ferguson guides us through the quotidian  world on an undercurrent of holiness. How lucky we are to have this bright and deeply moving collection.; title: Cathy Smith Bowers, North Carolina Poet Laureate
