Loose Weather

by Robert Herschbach October 2013 Out of Print

Robert Herschbach’s debut collection, Loose Weather, interweaves empirical observation with history, politics and myth. The resulting poems are lyrical yet ambitious in scope, searching out the root existential questions underlying our engagement with this world. With precise language and an artist’s eye for visual detail, this poet investigates the nature of exploration-geographical, cultural, psychological, erotic-as well as its consequences, whether unintended or longed-for.
