Description
PINGS: New and Selected Nanoscopic Prose Poems is a first of a kind: a collection of one-to-four line "penses," best defined as thoughts, both observational and insightful, expressed in laconic form.
Pings delivers the reader through subatomic communiques, electric "jolts of awareness" about the ever-shifting realm of human emotion and experience-a world both familiar and exotic, if not alien at times.In this uniquely original volume, over 220 lyrical sketches inspire the reader to thought and inquiry--both familiarly-footed and utterly transcendent--about who we are and why we act as we do

About the Author
Reviews
In Michael C. Keith's new book PINGS (what he calls "nanoscopic prose poems") the variety of these gems is wide and deep, despite many of the pieces being only a line or two. We get living and dying, youth and old age, sex, romance and loneliness, history and politics and what an artistic person often has to endure in the modern world. Serious matters, but Keith knows, too, the importance of wit and humor and the strangeness of so much around us, which he never fails to make us aware of. Here's one of his pings, titled "Somewhere" Things are never lost if the radius of your search is the world. And what a world he's given us.
