Between the Thinning Differences of Changing Light

"As a river knows 'the joy / of carrying a swimmer's body, ' this poet knows the joy-and the power-of carrying a prayer, in each moment, in his mouth."

-Francesca Bell, author of What Small Sound

At once contemplative and accessible, Between the Thinning Differences of Changing Light offers readers fresh insight, creative invitation, and genuine delight. It is a book for those drawn to poetry that honors mystery without obscurity, spirituality without dogma, and language that opens rather than explains. This collection celebrates life's teachings as they are discovered through patience, intimacy, and the subtle illumination of changing light.

Moving fluidly through themes of nature, memory, love, and the sacred, Richard Flout's poems invite readers into what poet and reviewer Kim Stafford calls, "a landscape of secrets revealed, connections cherished, moments made sacred by close attention, and little spells of intuitive knowing." These are poems "spoken soul to soul," rooted in meditative observation and a deep trust in what emerges when we slow down and listen.

Spanning fifty years of the poet's journey from the present day to the beginning, this collection reveals the poet's deepest truths laid bare in humble and striking simplicity. The struggle to find one's own deepest light and stay true to it, evident in early poems ("Who knows how to breathe with the birds, / pray like the squirrels, / die like the worms?") finds poignant contrast to the quiet surrender of later poems, ("I bathe my body with silence...") offering a lyrical vision of what it means to be free and alive.

"Poetry that works casts a magic spell upon the writer and the reader. Don't kid yourself; these poems when read (I suggest out loud as well), will entice and invite, simultaneously, your own creativity, in addition to providing you with fresh insights and good old-fashioned delight."

-Dale Biron, Associate Professor of Poetry, The Fromm Institute
