n his Late Measures, the lyric visionary Andrew Mossin reveals a self's earliest memories at the "debut of consciousness." Two geographic zones at two contrasting seasons-the brightness of a Greek spring and the brisk snow of East coast winter-are the primal ground for aura-rich fragments of witnessing, watching, contrasting, savoring, exploring pulses of time. In "quiet intensity," he "measures" the continuing mysteries of nomadic personhood, exile and rootedness. Mossin's book offers an assured and poised arc of pensive affirmation.
