And finally, they try to do so while remaining open to the intrinsic joy of being. These are poems rooted in the belief that words can invoke those presences which bring us back, again and again, to the fundamental experience of being: that there is something rather than nothing. The poems in A Word In My Mouth embody, as Czeslaw Milosz puts it, \"the double life of our common human circumstance as beings in between the dust that we are and the divinity to which we would aspire.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Cording teaches English and creative writing at College of the Holy Cross where he is the Barrett Professor of Creative Writing.
