The poems in this collection are divided into five "pamphlets": Gods, Romance, Fantasy, Humanity, and Animals-the preoccupations of the past decade. The more deeply one listens to these outer voices, Gans seems to be saying, the less one really knows. If knowing consists of a body of knowledge acquired through a life where there is little opportunity offered or taken to listen, the body of what we think we know-let alone understand-becomes minute indeed. Here are poems written below the static radar, meant to be read aloud. Also published by Xlibris: 49 Poems: Where Are You Leading Me Now? (2005)
