In Turnstiles, Peter Waldor reminds us to connect our humanity with the natural world, ‘to enjoy/the sensuous/pleasure of/subway turnstiles’ as much as the ‘blossoms between the bones.’ The aphoristic ‘Visions’ of the second section are shining tributes to fleeting moments. Through Waldor’s insightful observations, we are made privy to a miniature world of epic proportions and consequences. —Lisa St John, Author of Swallowing Stones (Kelsay Books 2023)
