Pan-Worldly Things
About This Book
Pan-Worldly Things, subtitled The Hermetic Realm of the Opposites, is a sequence of twelve lyrical poems written in rhythmic, rhyming verse. Craig Matheson uses the steady beat of the form to draw readers into a range of weighty subjects, so that even the gravest topics move along with a measured pull. The poems return to one question: why do cosmic things seem to be stretched between two opposing poles? Matheson follows this pattern through three realms. In the planetary realm, matter is set between the North and South Poles. In the political realm, public speech runs between the Far Left and the Far Right. In the mental realm, thought is positioned between absolutist and open-minded outlooks. The book is built on a Socratic design. Its aim is to make readers want to question the stories they have been handed, not to shut down debate by frightening them into silence.
