Product Description

Adam Phillips, Raritan

"Every word [of Seidel's poems] works, and every false note seems calculated."


Book Description

Poems from the author of Going Fast.

A can of shaving cream inflates
A ping-pong ball of lather,
Thick, hot, smaller than an atom, soon
The size of the world.

This does take time to happen.
Back at the start
Again, a pinprick swells so violently
It shoots out

Hallways to other worlds,
But keeps expanding
Till it is all
There is. The universe is all there is.

--from "Mirror Full of Stars"

The Cosmos Poems is about the universe: who it is, how it is, how it came to be, what is going to happen; when, why, who you are; what there was before it was; the smallness and the vastness, as told by a child to a child, in which quantum mechanics makes friends with special relativity forever. Frederick Seidel's poems tell the story. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
