A Gathered Distance: PoemsA Gathered Distance is a sustained and elegant lyric offering, weaving themes of loss and grief with transformation and beauty, which Chris Wallace Crabbe describes as "a most subtle orchestration of loss". The collection speaks to our shared experiences of connection and separation; the complex dynamics of family and parenthood. In a time of ecological crisis, Mark's work affirms the value of "lyric resistance", poetry's mysterious way of making

A Gathered Distance is a sustained and elegant lyric offering, weaving themes of loss and grief with transformation and beauty, which Chris Wallace-Crabbe describes as "a most subtle orchestration of loss". The collection speaks to our shared experiences of connection and separation; the complex dynamics of family and parenthood. In a time of ecological crisis, Mark's work affirms the value of "lyric resistance", poetry's mysterious way of making sense of things:

"When profound human emotion can recruit the lyric, the personal can become the human, the particular the archetypal. And a collapse of self can become a gathering of distances, a habitat of healing." - Mark Tredinnick.

From the title poem:

"...Be a garden in a city,

And be all the love you've lost. From all the unpropitious

Pieces tending toward a self, cultivate a solitude, harvest half

A life and make it whole. Gather all your distances, and

father all your orphan fears; hold them

Near, as a father might..."

A nice, comfortable t-shirt with a bit higher moc neck
Size: Small, Color: White
I wear tee shirts a lot, but, because I need something a little warmer at times I wondered if such a thing as a moc-neck tee existed. This shirt is soft and comfortable, not tight but more tee shirt- like in fit.

Wash before wearing — the dye will run
Size: Small, Color: Royal Blue
Make sure you wash this shirt before wearing. Maybe even two washes. The color WILL run and dye your skin. (I was impatient and wore it before washing and ended up with a blue torso) Otherwise, it fits well. I’d put it as a regular fit rather than a slim fit. Very soft, albeit synthetic, material.
