Description
A probing collection of new and selected poetry from Jonathan Aaron.
A poem uses words to try to get at what can't be put into words. The best poems remain just out of reach; something in or about them remains mysterious. A poem itself is an inquiry or a search, that is never finished, never fulfilled. As Wislawa Szymborska said, "Whatever inspiration is, it's born from a continuous 'I don't know.'"
Just About Anything delves into the essence of poetry, capturing the enigmatic nature of words and their inherent limitations in explaining the inexplicable.
