ce, space, childhood, fatherhood, and family, Going There is also a profound study of arrival and departure, natality and mortality, and gifts of inheritance-from Thoreau, Hayden, Yeats, Bono, Golden Age of Rome poets-and the earth, a verse made exquisite by Heinegg's sensitivity to mythic histories both ancient and futuristic, the "open secret of our solid dust," and the "domestic alchemy" of enduring love. Going There commemorates new life, grief, and the search for grace in timeless, tender poems "riveted to invisible worlds."--Virginia Konchan, author of Bel Canto
