Product Description
by Kelly Madigan (Author)
The Edge of Known Things is a declaration of reverence, a communication from a nontraditional prophet attempting to both explore and adore the world. What some flinch away from is held up for examination in these poems, poked at with a stick, as the narrator seeks to understand the line between what is already understood and what is hidden. Returning often to the issue of memory--what we know, what we think we recall, what actually happened, what was dreamed, imagined or pretended--the poems rotate on deep images in an attempt to separate comprehension from mystery.
