Morning Palace continues Andrew K. Peterson’s poetic practice of attending to daily life through a fusion of meditative attention and experimental verve. These discrete-yet-connected poems drift together – moving through nature, memory, and city pop life – with a felt sense of impermanence and spontaneity, and a quiet bow toward New American and Zen-influenced poetics.

Combining new poems that read as daybook snapshots with collages drawn from the poet’s notebooks of two decades ago, Morning Palace opens a welcoming space for dialogue between the perceived moment and memory’s archive: “everything remains / still , still . everything / the skull of straw blown open.”
