Geraldine Connolly's Instructions at Sunset instructs us about why we love poetry—the sensuality evoked throughout by the warmth of the sun, the scent of underbrush, and the simmer of dinner on the stove—images gifted us so we also live these rare moments. And surprises, too, when Connolly's noticing transforms suddenly into meaning, and we draw a breath. Many poets rely on "the pain-of-the-past" for deep feelings, but this is a book about the present, the startling brilliant present, caught exactly as it happens, for the reader to know the splendor of living in the best possible air.
--Grace Cavalieri, Maryland's tenth Poet Laureate
