Collected poems from Americas searching and thoughtful philosopher-poet. . . Theres somethingComforting about rituals renewed, even adolescents pipe dreams: Theyll find out soon enough, and meanwhile find their placesIn the eternal scenery, less auguries or cautionary talesThan parts of an unchanging whole, as ripe for contemplationAs a planisphere or the clouds: the vexed destinies, the shared life, The sempiternal spectacle of someone preaching to the choirWhile walking backwards in the moment on a warm spring afternoon.John Koethes poems--always dynamic and in process, never static or complete--luxuriate in the questions that punctuate the most humdrum of routines, rendering a robust portrait of an individual: complicated, quotidian, and resounding with truth.
