About the Book
"John Koethe unravels timeless questions of death, math, meaning, and much more in this mesmerizing new collection"--Book Synopsis
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.Review Quotes
"Its musicality is the inconspicuous polyphony of a mind-that-is-of-two-minds in motion. It's a quiet music, hard to hear, though once you've got its sound in your ear, instantly recognizable . . . . Koethe's words follow the unheard melody of meaning in the making and unmaking. " --Barry Schwabsky, The Point
