"The full moon is here, the sun striking the waves in time."

This second edition, enhanced with powerful words from the 1990s to present, reveals the poet's journey through getting sober, playing guitar, and confronting love, death, and God. The added articles bring a mature perspective, blending bracing vividness with a drier humor. From a salesman's cigarette break meditation to a muddy morning in Galilee, a prayer from a sober-living house, to a Quaker music visit to a veteran's hospital, Derek emerges deepened by age, loss, and persistent hope.
