Samuel Allen Southworth
A contemplative exploration of poetic verse and literary discourse, inviting you to wander through the stanzas of our shared literary world.
For All We Know
For All We Know is a large book of poetry that will suit all types of readers, from traditionalists to the fringe, written using divine inspiration as well as tight deadlines by a deft wordsmith with a subversive talent for seeing the fantastic in the prosaic, and the tragedy hidden beneath laughter. Provoked into verse by an unusually broad range of reference materials, reflecting a lifetime of reading everything from Homer to Kerouac, and from ancient Babylon to outer space, For All We Know is sparkling and luminous except when it's fog-shrouded and opaque.
