Produktbeschreibung
In the style of Gilgamesh, The Odyssey, and poetic epics that have come before it, moon moon by July Westhale applies a formal approach to what is truly unfathomable to consider: speculation of the world's end, and the spectrum of possible conquests to follow. A moon's moon is a questionably authentic astronomical term for a moon that orbits another moon. Whether rooted in logic, or merely a cosmically precise description of "space trash," moon moon is a collection that observes worlds: above, below, and inside of. These poems are rife with chaotic eco-grief and undercut with dark humor and strangeness: Whitney Houston as two oracles to the moon of the moon, humans as gods as humans again. Westhale takes us from the world to the moon, to the moon of the moon, and back again-sometimes scientifically, often experientially, and always obsessively. This is a collection for anyone who holds curiosity, exploration, and the existentialism of climate change simultaneously. It is for the truest astronauts among us.
