Passages moves through Hake''s verse and carries the reader from the spring to the creek to the river to the ocean. Each small poem, often written in prose, is both a single moment in time and a flash in the memory of how we live and choose to live. Hake''s conversation with the page surprises and enlightens even the most hidden corners of parenting, loss, illness or disability, and the sacred we all carry.
