Product Overview
By Jon Jeffrey Grier.
The poem is a reminiscence, ina twilight year, over those experiences and situations that made the speaker feel ever like a child in the struggle to make sense of it all. There is also an acceptance that this struggle was the point, that one is the sum of those experiences. The text procees chronologically, but there is a blurring of the speaker's perception of past and present, reflecting the lingering sense of childhood and the vividness of the memories. This composition won second place at the Ithaca College Choral Contest in November 2000.
