Pan-Worldly Things: The Hermetic Realm of the Opposites
Ebook
Pan-Worldly Things: The Hermetic Realm of the Opposites comprises twelve lyrical poems designed to prompt readers to entertain an amalgam of concerning matters through a rhymical, rhyming standard. The cadenced framework is measured for offering a sound, counterbalancing sway upon certain solemn subjects bantered about the book.
The book is founded in endless wonder over why Cosmic Things seem metaphysically flanked by two contrasting poles, such as with Cosmic Matter (Planetary Realms, magnetically set between North and South Poles); Cosmic Matters (Political Realms, rhetorically set between Far Left and Far Right speech); and Cosmic Concepts (Mental Realms, mentally set between Absolutist and Open-Minded perspectives).
Overall, the book's Socratic design is intended to energize more interest in contesting certain narratives rather than to end dialogue through scare tactics.
“Craig Matheson is a sincere, deep-thinking bard, tackling the biggest existential quandaries and putting them to verse. I’m amazed how none of these rhymes seems forced nor does the content suffer for the sake of a rhyme.”
—Maureen Seaberg, author of Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
“A writer whom each erudite reader cannot help but discover a viscerally transgressive thrill, Craig Matheson’s poetry seems to be a poignant combination of the best of magical tenderness and a terrific worst in teasing your mind in discourse. I’m glad he made sure this terribly delicious tome exists.”
—Randy Eady, alt med & integrative health editor, WebMedCentral
“Craig Matheson’s intriguing poetry collection, Pan-Worldly Things, challenges the reader to confront the dichotomy inherent in human existence and the world at large. His lyrical mosaic delves deeply into the paradox of life, traveling philosophically through the ages—from ancient schools of thought to modern interpretations—to explore the interconnectedness between apparent opposites. A passionate, ambitious, and promising endeavor for a novice poet.”
—Tanja Rabe, founder and managing editor, Cannery Row Press/Magazine
