Eschaton

by Michael Heller

Poetry. "Like the Renaissance and Neo-classical poets who speculated on the Great Chain of Being and microcosm-macrocosm relationships, Heller communicates a vision of human life as related to natural processes of great intricacy and magnitude. He strains his mind and the reader's to find the relationships between our experience and these processes in the material world, but the sense of magnificence is worth the strain"— Poetry in Review .

The idea behind this book was completely novel - what if all the different religions decided to end the world, each in their own way, at the same time. Parts of it were quite amusing.
