Circling The Years

This collected essays edition of Goldbarth's work provides new readers with an oppurtunity to read a number of essays from the long out of print A Sympathy of Souls and Great Topics of the World. Perhaps what's most interesting about the collection is that one can see Goldbarth becoming more comfortable with the essay as a form, working out the differences between essays and poems over the course of the early essays (from Souls and Great Topics) before hitting his stride with the title essay. If you've read his last essay collection, Dark Waves and Light Matter, Many Circles will not dissapoint.
