ONE FOR ALL YOU THEOLOGY & PHILOSOPHY MAJORS

 

"Earnest and diverse", goddammit!!

 

 

http://ravennapress.com/books/human-cathedrals/

 

 

John Sweet’s lean and muscular poetry causes a lot of excitement, evident by his long publications list and a series of earnest and diverse chapbooks. Human Cathedrals is his first major collection and Ravenna Press’ first book, what he describes as a tasty little full-length collection of angst and bile. It is better than that, with shades of melancholy mixed in with expressed vulnerability and the voice of a skilled poet who pulls no punches and obscures nothing.

This book selects a range of John’s strongest work and organizes it as an extended meditation—it is a great reading experience, immediately engaging and honest from page to page. Perfect-bound with a matte cover, it contains 80 pages of poetry in the consistent, unflinching Sweet voice.

nihilism for the beautiful people

 

It strikes me as I sit here in

the dead grey light of

upstate 5 p.m.

that I have several books

more or less exclusively

available through

Amazon,

and yet none of them are

#1 in sales.

 

And then I go to Amazon

to exactly what is

rocking the world of

modern poetry there,

and it makes me die inside

just a little…..

 

In any event….

And, just between me and you,

one of these titles is so good,

the publisher didn’t even bother to

list it on their own page.

 

That’s gotta hurt.
