Cemeteries and Galaxies: Poems - Paperback
Description
by John Koethe (Author)
John Koethe unravels timeless questions of death, math, meaning, and much more in this mesmerizing collection.
John Koethe, one of our most philosophically sophisticated poets, has written a book of pithy, contentious, witty poems about our perennial, never-satisfied search for meaning. The silent mysteries of the stars and the mute beauty of human graves have deep similarities that Koethe probes in these poems with a wondering, wandering gimlet eye that will delight the reader when they don't terrify them. Cemeteries and Galaxies is an extraordinarily provocative and, perhaps surprisingly, consoling book.Author Biography
