Publisher's Description
This work continues the poet’s quest to know the mind of Bernard Lonergan SJ (1904–1984). In Water Basin, quiet poems consider desire, love, and time. Ordinary life and vocation, here, are expressed in the light of the garden city where channels cut through rock bring water.

“Fleeting glimpses of recurrent modulating particulars—marigolds, violets, the planting of seeds, rainwater—exchanges of love tokens between a lover and a beloved, cede place to a sense of the manifold, but then return us again to the particular, now changed. The reader is taken up into an oscillation between the miniscule vicissitude and the carapace and is left with a sense of luminous exactness. In this second volume of verse, Allison’s delicacy is matched by her translucency which does not compromise the materiality of the moment but embraces it.”
