Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. n his delightfully audacious fourth book, Philip Memmer addresses a deity who is always ceasing / to be, and then ceasing / to cease to be. In Psalms that fuse contemporary language and wit with scriptural gesture, Memmer knits a sweater for God and presents Him with new by-laws for their unsatisfactory relationship; in recast biblical stories and invented parables, he foregrounds Gods absence and sanctioned destructions. But the poets disappointment with the one he calls Father is tempered by wistfulness and wisdom; even before the books surprising final turn, he offers this: you must / find the kingdom empty, / then make it yours. Written by an award-winning author of three books of poems, including "Lucifer: A Hagiography", "Threat of Pleasure", and "Sweetheart, Baby, Darling". He lives in upstate New York.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Philip Memmer's Pantheon is a collection of dramatic monologues written from the perspectives of imaginary gods. But these are not the usual mythological suspects: the voices here include such unlikely deities as the God of Error, the God of Skunks, the God of Shrugs, and the God of Lullabies. Whether their concerns are profound or ridiculous, and whether they speak with love or disdain, they share one thing in common: the faithful, mortal human to whom they speak.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. These brief poems are cryptic gems, flinting across the pages and constructing (stone upon stone), as the title suggests, a lyric and meditative drama. Sisyphus contemplates his destiny and his act of building the mountain he climbs throughout the timelessness of fate, his only companion the stone he pushes and that always eludes him at the summit.Poet Philip Memmer re-inscribes the ancient myth by giving personhood and interiority to both characters in this dialogue, as they struggle, grapple, argue, cry out, resist each other, and acknowledge their inseparability. As in a long contentious marriage, Sisyphus asks: "Whose resounding silence / echoes your thoughts?" The stone's replies spark from the insights flashing out of these poems. These brief poems are cryptic gems, flinting across the pages and constructing (stone upon stone), as the title suggests, a lyric and meditative drama.
