Look beyond the everyday meaning of the title phrase, and hear a summing-up of life itself: one day we come into the world, one day we leave it again. Diverse in subject, style, and mood and rich in contrasts – from the public and collective to the personal and private, from the lyrical to the rhetorical – the poems in this collection are a meditation on time, aging, and mortality, sounding the human condition at a moment of world-change.
