Summary

This collection of poetry features five extended poems that explore the concept of beauty and the nature of language. Though they discuss serious philosophical ideas, the verses are full of zest and energy, wit and humor. This unique volume also features remembered and misremembered song lyrics from John Lennon, Lou Reed, Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons, Ryan Adams, and Courtney Love, among others. In addition, it includes fragments from philosophers and poets of the sublime, especially William Wordsworth and John Ruskin, and from religious texts such as the Bible and the Tao-Te Ching. Through glimpses of imperfection, Wedde offers a fresh take on the familiar, sparking a new vision of the world and its wonders.
