Hourglass

Hourglass is a series of eight-syllable line sonnets with rhyme and half-rhyme schemes, each with a creative process travelogue in prose. All the poems celebrate meditation and the relation of mind and body, along with struggles inherent in establishing a practice. Matson found valuable support in Vipassana meditation, and these sonnets came as Maton’s meditation took hold and blossomed.
