Robert Nordstrom's splendid new poetry collection, Dust on the Sill, is the perfect book to read on a wind shorn / gin & tonic afternoon, when one is ready to contemplate life and its color, like breath, on loan. In poems often wistful, always generous, Nordstrom coaxes profound meaning from spare and elegant lines as he grapples with big questions by engaging what seems small-bread and soup shared by a long-married couple, children boarding a school bus after summer, the maple toss[ing] its leafy arms / in lament or praise. Dust on the Sill is a primer on how, across a long life consciously, gratefully lived, a person might learn to greet[...] what rises / rather than chasing / what sets. Nordstrom's poems are beautiful hymns to living and loving; readers cannot help but raise their voice to join in.
