Late in a Slow Time is an intricate and intimate book that deftly marks the "little monumental changes" that make up our daily lives. In poems about the contradictory nature of wonder and suffering and acceptance, Carole Glasser Langille shows us "how fine-tuned this unanswered world is." In her search for breadth within the limitations of fate we are privy to a big-hearted poet whose sentiments have been tested and shaped by experience, whose wisdom comes naturally from the near at hand.
