Pantheon
In the elegant poems of Philip Memmer’s Pantheon the gods talk back to us—the gods of error, of doubt, of extinction, of erosion. Memmer’s poems are almost mathematical in their precision, their questing after a logic that defies what’s already known. Pantheon offers beautiful, haunting, teasing encounters. The god of everywhere, the last god to speak, asks for what this impressive collection consistently accomplishes: “Surprise me.”
