Split Infinity Forward David Sweet

Split Infinity Forward, David Sweet's newest book of poetry, follows both chronologically and logically his previous book, Pop Rocks, which firmly established him as a unique poetic voice. In Split Infinity Forward, the reader is invited to come along as an intimate and comrade and move through the curiosity and irony of the everyday and end in the infinite. Possessing an entrancing mixture of comedy and spirit, David Sweet touches on subjects such as childhood and fatherhood, angels and gods, intimate love and lust, birth and death-exposing humanities often faulty sense of what's important. Split Infinity Forward is funny, insightful, thoughtful, and poetic, with a lyric sense that permeates each poem. "David Sweet's poems are wonderingly perceptive and strongly written, but beyond that, they are a spirited, expressive glimpses into a life that we can all call our own.""David Sweet's poetry, a fresh voice out of Tokyo, pours out great immediacy, power, and beauty." -Xavier Breton, Asian Voices
