Collected poems from America's searching and thoughtful
philosopher-poet . . . There's something Comforting about rituals
renewed, even adolescents' pipe dreams: They'll find out soon
enough, and meanwhile find their places In the eternal scenery,
less auguries or cautionary tales Than parts of an unchanging
whole, as ripe for contemplation As a planisphere or the clouds:
the vexed destinies, the shared life, The sempiternal spectacle of
someone preaching to the choir While walking backwards in the
moment on a warm spring afternoon. John Koethe's poems--always
dynamic and in process, never static or complete--luxuriate in the
questions that punctuate the most humdrum of routines, rendering a
robust portrait of an individual: complicated, quotidian, and
resounding with truth. Gathering for the first time his impressive
and award-winning body of work, published between 1966 and 2016,
Walking Backwards introduces this gifted poet to a new, wider
readership.
