Brooks Haxton is one of my favorite poets, and the son of one of my favorite fiction writers Ellen Douglas (or Josephine Haxton). I bought this book when he came through Seattle to read from Fragments: The Collected Wisdom of Heraclitus. It is a book I keep going back to and dipping in. I find him, and his books, inspiring. He is brilliant but humble. A quote from his talk, "From the strain of binding opposites comes harmony." He knows Greek history and he might have been quoting from someone else, Heraclius?, it was great to be in his presence!
