Book Of A Thousand Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218400040)

Out with the minimalist and apocalyptic, in with the maximalist and messianic. More of a map than a book -- a comprehensive exploration of the human psyche in all its pride and frailty, all of its delusions and disappointments, all of its self-criticism and self-grandeur. A survey of the most mythical and the most prosaic symbols from which the mind makes its reality. A work of such scope and ambition that it could not be summed up in any fewer than one thousand poems. By turns serious, tragic, irreverent, nonsensical, hilarious -- this is Christian McDonough's Book Of A Thousand Poems.
