Book Overview

Collected poems from America's searching and thoughtful philosopher-poet . . . There's somethingComforting about rituals renewed, even adolescents' pipe dreams: They'll find out soon enough, and meanwhile find their placesIn the eternal scenery, less auguries or cautionary tales Than 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 Koethe's 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. Gathering for the first time his impressive and award-winning body of work, published between 1966 and 2016, Walking Backwards introduces this gifted poet to a new, wider readership.
