The World At Hand is a collection of poems about the world immediately around us, but since J. Tarwood gets about, it's a big world. In that big world, he writes about last and first things, imagining his way into lives and times so often invisible to those who read poetry. The only cure for invisibility, after all, is being seen, and J. Tarwood aims to make us see.
After many years in East Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, he currently lives in China, and has published six books: The Cats in Zanzibar, Grand Detour, And For The Mouth A Flower, What The Waking See, The Sublime Way and The World At Hand. He has always been an unlikely man in unlikely places.
