The poems in Attending Void incorporate scientific understandings of the world and yet, want more. Morris lets his inclination for the abstract enter the conversation in a conscious search for something deeper, lighter, higher; these poems go where any insight may be found. You can't get the news from poems but the work in this book may turn you into a river looking forward to the next bend. Morris muses on the ephemerality of life in a straightforward way, but you never know when his eyes may turn to lead, when his teeth may become emeralds, when his face may turn into a tree, when his poems might make you pick up a pen.
