To believe is to believe you have been torn
from the abyss, yet stand waveringly on its rim.

Every Riven Thing is a fine book of poetry, well worth adding to your library. Wiman's ear is incredibly good–he has a knack for finding, not only the right word, but the right sounding word, to make his poetry sing.
