Synopsis
In the lucid, melodic, various poems of This World, Teddy Macker returns us to the great mystery all around us, a mystery we so easily forget, the mystery of trout, the mystery of orchard, the mystery of our beautiful human bodies. Within these pages, Macker also chronicles the journey inside the whale, telling us not just of fear and trembling but also of the magnificent harps only found in the belly of the beast. By turns ecological, erotic, compassionate, and mystical, these poems return us to ;this world, the kingdom we've been looking for."
"The phrase “this world” appears over and over in the book, as Macker intentionally returns to his core idea―praise for earthly experience . . . his voice on the page is hushed not a holler…speaks lovingly and joyously about most all of life…with his moving language, he reinvigorates old subjects."―Orion Magazine
