His decision would have been informed by the realities of war, religious colonization, and ideas of progress, power, and corruption, and complicated by personal interest, grief, confusion, and a faith (religious and secular) under extreme duress. His choice between life as an “active” or a “contemplative” was one between public and private action. Along with the question of what constitutes action, it remains a choice central to political and private life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaren Solie’s fifth book of poetry, \u003cem\u003eThe Caiplie Caves\u003c\/em\u003e, attends to transition in times of crisis.
