Coles Measured Light: Ordinary Glimmers at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

Seventeen minutes of light.
Ten pounds of time.
Ninety-nine silences.
How do we measure what we carry?
Measured Light: Ordinary Glimmers is a collection of 35 quiet poems transformed from Chinese essays into English verse. Each piece begins with a number—a measurement—not to quantify life, but to make space for what cannot be counted: what the body remembers, what we choose not to send, and what remains long after we stop keeping score.
Written between Taiwan and America, these poems explore the quiet mathematics of living:
the hesitation before a door opens,
the weight of time stored in the body,
the dignity of small light that refuses to disappear.
This is poetry for readers who move slowly through the world.
For those who believe stillness holds meaning.
For anyone who knows that not all light arrives loudly.
"This is how time enters the body.
Not all at once.
But inch by inch."
Measured Light invites you to pause, notice, and stay awhile.
