Book Reviews of God Particles: Poems
Book Review: De-Lux
Summary: 5 Stars
I own other books by Thomas Lux and this one is by far my favorite. While the quirky sense of humor his fans love is still here, he also reaches a consistent depth with this compliation that--poem by poem--leaves an impression no reader can ignore. (Kind of like Chinese water torture...you're not sure which drop does the person in since each is so simple yet so strong. I mean the simile in a good way, of course.)
This book was a pleasure to read (even my non-poem-friendly husband enjoyed hearing them read aloud) and I respect Lux for taking on such a risky topic as the size of God--therefore seeing us as the particles we truly are. It's sobering. Not all of the poems in the collection are about religion, but they are each weighty for their own purposes.
Lux sucessfully acheived discussing religon in poetry with this book, walking the tightrope between doubt and blind faith. He had his eyes wide open, and I think many readers will say the same once they have finished it.
