The Knowable Emotions: Poems - Paperback

by Heikki Huotari (Author)

Heikki Huotari's poems oscillate between intense moments of scientific clarity and absurdist pirouettes that remind us that, while the "world" may be a dance of entropic chaos screened by a thin veneer of rational apology, the universe is largely a laughing matter. His work is absolute proof that Surrealism is not dead.
