"One of America's most acclaimed poets, Albert Goldbarth is a master at linking unlikely partners: a flea with the constellations, sex with quantum physics, Krazy Kat with the immigrant Jewish experience, 1950s techno-dreams and gee-whiz comics with biblical plagues, the intimate details of everyday life with human history. Richly textured, comic, personal, kitschy, and delightful to the ear and eye in every line, the four linked essays in GREAT TOPICS OF THE WORLD comprise a time-traveling romp through science, American pop culture, the marvels of the imagination, and the mysteries of the heart." [publisher copy] "Albert Goldbarth is a poet of remarkable gifts--a dazzling virtuoso who can break your heart."--Joyce Carol Oates. "Magisterial . . . Everything is approached with good humor, intelligence and grace."--The New York Times Book Review. "Attentive, inventive, playful . . . wonderful . . . richly satisfying . . . Like the scientists, Goldbarth seeks out the simplicity behind variousness."--The Boston Phoenix. Near pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.
