Thomas Fasano: Landfill, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

The text is a vast, interconnected collection of poems that reflect on the eternal cycles of life, decay, and renewal in nature and in human existence. It meditates on the silent, enduring rhythms found in the growth and decay of leaves, trees, earth, and the cosmos, as well as in the urban detritus of technological progress and human ambition. Through detailed imagery-such as winds shifting over dew‐drenched grass, the slow deterioration of industrial artifacts, and the delicate dance of predator and prey in a garden-the verses explore how both natural and manmade worlds are in constant transformation. They question the meaning of progress, uncovering beauty and wisdom in decline and decay, while also celebrating the energy of rebirth and interconnectedness. Ultimately, the poems invite the reader to contemplate how endings always seed new beginnings and how every interaction-from the movement of atoms in a cosmic ballet to the exchange of goods in a bustling market-contributes to the intricate tapestry of existence.
