Written by a prize-winning husband and wife poets who undertake the building of a glass cabin in rural Alabama, these poems celebrate the beauty of nature, the love of art-making and the joy of relationships. It is as much a spiritual journey as a story of building a unique house.

These poems explore the work it takes to measure cuts for stairs, to haul water-one ton at a time-up the side of the mountain, and to write. It is also a meditation on hope, on frustration, and their place in the wilder parts of the world.
