Opis

These are poems that take a hard look at the experience of one individual, but always in terms of place and context, and other lives. Employing 'broken symmetry'-a term from high energy physics for a state in which traces of an earlier symmetry can be found-as a description of the contemporary fractured world and his own fitfully declining health, Citino seeks to know whether an unbroken symmetry ever existed, or whether it is human nature to believe fervently in some lost golden age.
