With remarkable attention to detail, a broad range of knowledge, and an obvious love of language, Dow moves between detailed nature poems, poems about personal grief, lyrical love poems, and narrative poems of times spent in far-off places. With compassion and clarity, In the Presence of Beauty explores Buddhist subjects and Dow's own deep spiritual experiences, while also considering the beauty and sacredness of everyday family life.
