About the Book In Cogswell's cosmology 'the senses help us transform reality, they build the bridges... to end our loneliness.' Yet Cogswell advocates no self-delusion or Ribaudian disordering of the senses. His unassuming poems strive for an equilibrium between human sensations and the things neglected by the poets from the urban centres. The senses in Cogswell's poems carry reflections to and from the venerated, they are alert and self-taxing.
