Cosmosis

Cosmosis is the first full-length collection of poems from Christopher Phelps. Unlocked by key phrases from Emily Dickinson, these lyric and narrative poems explore the bind, the bounds, and the braid of desire, loss, and spirituality. Alert to the riddles and textures of language, questions are quests and answers are put to the tests of feeling. Notes to self that invite others; open letters filled with personal discoveries, these meditations center on the luck of being alive and the wish to understand how, if not in vain, to live.
