Infinity Pool

by Oliver Tearle

A collection of 35 poems about some very strange and unexpected moons and planets, cashpoints, the eighteenth-century poet Edward Young working nights in a supermarket, the London property bubble, Theseus and Ariadne in a nightclub, the Hale-Bopp comet, the history of metaphysics, and the martini. These modern metaphysical poems, by the author and academic Oliver Tearle, often engage with the virtuality of our world mediated by computers and phone screens, but the symbols – subways, pyramids, sphinxes, towers, and pools – are drawn from the world of dreams.
