God & Other Poems: Final Poems

Paul D. Carroll didn't "rage against the dying of the night"- he laughed, and sang. These 30 amazing poems were written in the last 10 weeks of his life. As poet Roger Aplon says, "they are full-bodied, rollicking & downright flabbergasting." He continues, "these images dazzle the imagination while stitching the physical world to the metaphysical. "Poem" which begins: 'What if today the world . . .' where Paul entwines the images of the very concrete' physical world with suspiciously sacred & elusive images from dream & memory: the fox's face becomes the shaver's face in the mirror that takes him to his passport & Baudelaire & Marilyn Monroe & a party at the church & a jitterbug & the girl without a face & Jesus Christ & the mystery of the hand-carved dresser & mother like a fist & Harpo Marx in "A Night at the Opera" to the final uplifting reminder, both physical & spiritual, that water can become wine . . .
