Stone Works - Poems

by Wayne Allen Jones (Author)

Stone Works is author/publisher Wayne Allen Jones's first book of poetry. The three parts explore the ways people try to give meaning to their lives by imposing, arbitrarily, a structure on their experience that has more to do with their needs and less to do with the neutral reality of experience. The first part sets forth the process; the second shows the result when the process seems to work well; and the third and longer part shows the emptiness and disappointment when it becomes clear that experience moves without reference for a person's need for meaning.
