Description
World Without Finishing continues Peter Cooley's search for the "ordinary miraculous," the subject of his books for four decades. In those liminal spaces where Cooley voyages, the otherworldly is a haunting presence, whether in a painting by Rembrandt, the voices of the dead in a Louisiana cemetery for lepers or a mayfly his imagination conjures for its single day on earth. The gods--and God--are near at hand and far from us in the mysterious riddling of Cooley's new poems.
