Cogito and other poems - Julian Porter - Bog

These poems deal with surfaces: what lies on them, what lies beneath them, what happens when they change, what they reveal, what they conceal, what can be lost when we mistake them for the things they bound. Equally well, they deal with faith: confirmed, threatened, ignored, lost, transcended, misplaced. Finally, they deal with change: beginnings, endings, things born, things lost, things killed, things transformed, things forgotten.
