Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. BEYOND WAKING s a book that transcends time in its movement: stripping it down, puncturing the layers of formality of presentation/while at the same time honoring them.... It lives brilliantly amid the collecting and dispersing/the intimate and the public, where madness and joy spiral and swirl away--delivering us to the pivot of belief--Jan Beatty. In BEYOND WAKING, the flower once seen remains on the inner eye, the note once heard diminishes but never disappears. Spend time in Joseph Karasek's world...you'll return with a clearer eye, a deeper heart, for your own--Richard St. John.
