Nameless Earth

by Robert Gray

Overview

Taking as its subject the natural world and the arbitrary aspects of human life, this collection includes concrete poems, rhymed lyrics and epigrams, discursive philosophical discourse, and free-verse poetry. Formally diverse and endlessly inventive, the poems nevertheless grow out of vivid and genuine emotional responses to the world.
