5.0 out of 5 stars
A powerful vantage point from space outside the human mind.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Invention Of The Zero (Paperback)
Structurally intricate, historically aware and philosophically challenging, Richard Kenney's third book of poems is absolutely awe-inspiring. Among its complex of themes the poem addresses WWII and the development of the atomic bomb, celestial mechanics, perception and the slow rotation of humanity's developing consciousness. Reading (and re-reading) these poems produces a sense of distance and revelation -- perhaps this is a function of the Orbiter motif which binds the work together. Experience The Invention of the Zero and you will be rewarded with a vantage point from space lying outside the human mind -- orbiting from the void (zero) whence the terrible visions which interlock sin and logic, history and technology, the natural world and the obscure whisper of numbers.
