Imaginary Logic

Title: Imaginary Logic Author: Jones, Rodney ISBN: 9780547479781 Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Published: 2011 Binding: Book Language: English Condition: New New from the publisher Poetry 1405968 Publisher Description: A new collection from a Kingsley Tufts Award-winning poet Imaginary Logic is a brilliantly expansive, deeply meditative, and at times wildly imaginative collection of poems that combines Rodney Jones's distinctive storytelling ability, sharp social intelligence, and keen powers of observation in a book that is wistful, satiric, audacious, and remorseless. "The Art of Heaven" opens with a parody of Dante and a down-home, twisted humor that Jones's readers have come to rely on: "In the middle of my life I came to a dark wood, / the smell of barbecue, kids running in the yards. / Not deep depression. This nice hell of suburbs. / Speed bumps. The way things aren't quite paradise."Rodney Jones, winner of the National Book
