Witty, touching, introspectiveBlindsight finds Hewett becoming a parent and easing toward middle age with a sense of calm and inevitability.
In poems that are full of wit, touching, and introspective, as well as formally inventive, we find the poet losing his sight, becoming a parent, and occupying middle age with a sense of calm and inevitability. Hewett draws inspiration from the grand and the mundane, the abjection and joy of creating a vision out of blindness. These poems will change how you perceive the world.
