When Godot Arrived: Poems

"In his latest collection of eighty free-verse sonnets, When Godot Arrived, Jim Tilley continues the explorations from the set of new poems in his previous book, Ripples in The Fabric of the Universe, and serves as an extension of that work. As usual, he draws on his experience as a poet and mathematician to fix a lens on the current raw state of the country and the world and on interpersonal relationships. At times, his mood is merely contemplative, especially in his testaments to family, but as he delves relentlessly into matters political, ecological, and environmental, that mood turns darker, even ominous, infused occasionally with humor to present a more optimistic outlook. It is a most expansive read"-- Provided by publisher.
