I've always Hated poems about philosophy, and I hope I still do, But since I don't know what that means anymore, here I am, Musing on my ends and my beginnings one more time . . ." In Beyond Belief, John Koethe poses eternal and essential questions about the rhythms of time, language and literature, and "the space between attention and belief." The eleventh book of poetry from America's philosopher-poet is an intimate, searching collection that gives life to the mundane and lends words to our most interior and abstract musings. What makes a life real? Words on a page, the accumulation of moments and memories, or nothing at all? And what is it worth? Locked inside, have we lost our future and its promises or are we merely pressed to inhabit our present and ourselves?

Paperback. Condition: Good. John Koethe unravels timeless questions of death, math, meaning, and much more in this mesmerizing collection.
