A rich, meditative new collection of poetry from John Koethe, the "necessary and great poet" ( Hyperallergic ). It's presumptuous, but if you're reading this you Probably know my usual obsessions and preoccupations: The "world"--both the word and what it stands for--and time, Which is or isn't real, depending on my mood.

A rich, meditative new collection of poetry from John Koethe, the "necessary and great poet" ( Hyperallergic ). It's presumptuous, but if you're reading this you Probably know my usual obsessions and preoccupations: The "world"--both the word and what it stands for--and time, Which is or isn't real, depending on my mood. I've always Hated poems about philosophy, and I hope I still do, But since I don't know what that means anymore, here I am, Musing on my ends and my beginnings one more time . . . In Beyond Belief , John Koethe poses eternal and essential questions about the rhythms of time, language and literature, and "the space between attention and belief." The eleventh book of poetry from America's philosopher-poet is an intimate, searching collection that gives life to the mundane and lends words to our most interior and abstract musings. What makes a life real? Words on a page, the accumulation of moments and memories, or nothing at all? And what is a life worth? Locked inside, have we lost our future and its promises or are we merely pressed to inhabit our present and ourselves? The award-winning poet invites us into his consideration of our world, as "An ordinary person sitting on his balcony on a summer afternoon, / Waiting patiently for someone to explain it to and meanwhile / Living quietly in his imagination, imagining the afterlife."
