About the Book

I have sat at the feet of teachers, who have sat at the 
feet of masters, so I have touched enlightenment 
thrice removed, which has the feeling of a handsome 
baseball glove in a shop window that I have 
not the money to buy.
I know this feeling well, yet still live
in the hope of that clap of thunder.

Embers is a meditation on life. The poems give form to thoughts, experiences, memories, hopes, and dreams, turning private reflections into something shared. Giskin weaves fragments of memory from childhood with stories of his ancestors in Lithuania, his travels, stunning moments in nature, and the ungraciousness of ageing. And yet, Embers leaves us curious about the potent images of our own lives, and perhaps a little more able to settle into quiet moments of insight.
