Tribeca. 2016. March 2016. Four Way Books. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9781935536697. 6 x 9. 64 pages. paperback. keywords: American Literature Poetry. DESCRIPTION - From Nothing, a book-length poem in sections, explores the conflicted and exemplary life of Belgian physicist and priest Georges Lema�tre, known as the father of the Big Bang, and his life's profound implications, through what John Barth called the principle of metaphoric means: the writer's investiture in as many aspects of the text as possible with emblematic significance. Though associative and multivalent in its orchestration, From Nothing weaves its frequencies into a resonant whole. Tobin brings his learning and astounding imaginative powers to bear on such central questions as the origin and end of the universe. and the intractable mystery of time. This is a memorable, tragic and moving book that should be read by everyone who wonders how we got here. . - Alan Shapiro. inventory #42778
