In These Poems, The Long View Afforded By Experience Results In A Truer Representation Of Our Predicament And A Regretful Understanding Of Human Culpability.Just As Times And Places Flow Together To Create A Shifting, At Times Visionary Perspective, So Too Do The Presences Of Those We Have Lost, Love And Death Consorting As They Must. In A Central Sequence A Departure For OBrien He Writes Into The Rich Imaginative Climate Of George SimenonS Maigret Novels. These Poems, Both Homage And Transposition, Effect A Poetic Communion Of Sorts With The Physical World And Moral Atmospheres Encountered By The Inscrutable Detective And His Creator.The Working Of The Imagination Itself Has Become OBrienS True Subject, Where The Fact Of The World And The Imagined Order Of Literature And Art Begin To Merge.
