The Hidden Eyes of Things (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999491270)

A new lumnious volume from visionary poet Peter O'Leary

In THE HIDDEN EYES OF THINGS, we travel through far reaches of the solar system--from the silver of twilight on Mercury, to the vast sea of hydrogen on Jupiter, to the endless collisions of ice particles in Saturn's rings--in order to explore the unconscious. Guided by the conjunctions and oppositions of astrology, Peter O'Leary finds reciprocity between alien planetary atmospheres and the most intimate forces that shape a life. His poetry draws on oneiric imagery, recherch蜑 diction, and incantatory repetitions, in building toward an uncanny vision, the deep-felt familiarities of human life turned mournfully apocalyptic and sublime.
