"Poetry is the language of language." So writes Charles B. Snoad in the introduction to Nervous Lethargy, a collection of poetry obsessed with the power of words. Snoad asks difficult questions about the nature of truth, the existence of God, the joys and frustrations of desire and falling in love, and the persistence of anxiety in today's technology-driven global society. The highly sensitive, self-aware speakers in these poems take readers on an existential journey through tragedy, hope, and longing-attuned to the beauty and absurdity of modern life. That feeling when your head spins so fast you can't get out of bed-this is Nervous Lethargy.
