Includes a card inscribed to the above-mentioned Susan & signed by the author along with a promotional card containing details about the book. For six weeks, in the summer of 2019, a mysterious creature appeared every evening in Durant's Baltimore neighbuorhood. Was it a biological anomaly, an apparition, a portentous sign, or all the above? The visitation of this ghostly entity prompted a season of reverie; in the dimming twilight, as the vulpine creature darted in and out of sight, Durant reconsidered his own life narratives, and questioned his insatiable desire to photographically capture the otherworldly visitor.

In 2020, as the COVID pandemic forced a global redefinition of our notions of personal safety and collective responsibility, Durant faced his own serious health crisis as well as the illness and death of beloved family members. Durant's episodic account of his hospitalizations and his dwindling ability to understand what was happening to and around him is as vivid as it is harrowing.

Grief, fear, tenderness, wonder, dark humour, and the comforts of art and nature are inextricably bound in this photographic and narrative exploration of trauma and mystical transience.
