World Without Finishing continues Peter Cooley¿s search for the ¿ordinary miraculous,¿ the subject of his books for four decades. In those liminal spaces where Cooley voyages, the otherworldly is a haunting presence, whether in a painting by Rembrandt, the voices of the dead in a Louisiana cemetery for lepers or a mayfly his imagination conjures for its single day on earth. The gods - and God - are near at hand and far from us in the mysterious riddling of Cooley¿s new poems.
