A new collection of poems from Thomas Lux, the Kingsley Tufts
Award-winning author of The Street of Clocks and The Cradle Place
God Particles displays the distinctive originality and
unpredictability that prompted the Washington Post Book World to
name Lux one of this generation's most gifted poets. A satiric
edge, tempered by profound compassion, cuts through many of the
poems in Lux's book. While themes of intolerance, inhumanity, loss,
and a deep sense of mortality mark these poems, unexpected moments
of grace instill even the darkest moments with an unexpected
sweetness. In the title poem Lux writes, there's no reason for God
to feel guilt / I think He was downhearted, weary, too weary / to
be angry anymore . . . / He wanted each of us, / and all the things
we touch, . . . / to have a tiny piece of him / though we are
unqualified, / of even the crumb of a crumb. Dark, humorous, and
strikingly imaginative, this is Lux's most compassionate work to
date.
