Spare and honed, David Brooks's poems range in scale, from investigations into microscopic detail observing the smallest creatures and textures underfoot as well as the telescopic, revealing the smallness of human endeavor from a thoughtful distance. This volume is at once powerful, resonant, and unreserved.</div>American essays21st centuryPhilosophyPoetryAmerican essaysPhilosophy.Poetry.814Brooks David128383MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820972903321Open House4051108UNINA
