Now in its third imprint, Larry Fike's first chapbook of poems explores the psychology of existence and meaning in contemporary life. Here, Robert Frost meets contemporary alternative rock expressions. (The author has written lyrics that appear on network television.) The poems' central preoccupation is with accepting the futility of grasping at things that cannot be grasped (air, time, death, eternity), and what linguistic exploration can reveal about the modern project of self-invention as we contemplate these notions. The reader's own experience can be transformed through meditative attentiveness to the words. Lawrence Udell Fike, Jr., M.Phil., is a professional philosopher, lyricist, writer and performer who spends most of his time in Southern California deserts and in New York City. He has two sons and likes to cook and hike when he's not writing, reading, sleeping, meditating, speaking publicly or engaging in other more-or-less normal human activities.
