world is often sketched, where the narrator or reader is waiting on something that may or may not happen: "in the near dark" of the title poem, say, waiting "for what you may be about to receive".What we may be about to receive, [Esther] Morgan implies, is a kind of mystical revelation: those transformative, perspective-shifting moments that leave the world a less certain place to be. Which of course poetry--or anything that deserves the name--has always looked to harness.
