Following the Light explores a life’s journey to find a home. The poems take us from Leone Scanlon’s doorstep through the streets, parks, cafes, and churches of a a small, diverse city in central Massachusetts to New England lakes and sea shores, meeting farmers, artists, eagles, even angels. The journey from childhood to old age goes through kitchens smelling of pea soup and curry, through “night’s galactic spaces,” and through yards where orange carouses—a poet’s pilgrimage.
