Poets Lise Goett, The Radiant & Mark Wunderlich, God of Nothingness

This will be an in-store event and will be live streamed on Zoom, register here for Zoom.

Award-winning poet Lise Goett’s The Radiant explores our human corporality and what it means to inhabit flesh at a time when, as the poet Carlos Drummond says, one “can no longer say, my God.” “It seems that now, Goett’s subject bears new poetic investigation, given the global precariousness of all organic life,” writes Carolyn Forché. The collection’s greatest value may lie in a mystic’s witness and apprehension of this uncharted territory of our civilization’s predicament of the body and the earth’s ravishing and ravished impermanence in a collection that takes its name from the point from which meteors appear to emanate and fall, an arc of freefall, not without its own pathos and luminosity.
