The world ended at 12: 04 p.m. and nobody else even looked up. There is a before and an after to loss. When the sun goes down at noon, you are left standing in the wreckage, unable to understand how the rest of the world is still driving to work and buying coffee. The Sound of Your Absence is not a book that will tell you "everything happens for a reason." It is a companion for the messy, unpolished, and heavy reality of outliving the person you love. Unlike many poetry books about grief and loss that rush you toward the light, this collection meets you in the dark.

It's a catalog and a compendium that examines the complicated experience of being all too human and interacting with a complex, confounding, breathtaking world ... and a reminder to stop and be awake and alive in yourself.

Code of conduct. Good qualities in me you will find as you explore my body….and my mind. Should you like what you see, then tell it to others…. Sing praises of me In halls and corridors. But if faults are what you see in me, please, my love…tell it first to me.

The Story of the Universe was inspired by a very old idea—that the universe is one river and that galaxies, stars, planets, and people are all whirls and eddies in the universal flow, arising in the universe as naturally as whirls and eddies arise in a fast-flowing river. The universe arose once upon a time in a place that created time and space. It spread in darkness like an exploding black hole until there was light. It was pure energy in pure symmetry—almost.
