Sailing through Cassiopeia

Dan Gerber’s eighth collection of poetry, Sailing through Cassiopeia, richly layers and evokes the elegance of the commonplace with meditations on how to love a world that is beautiful but also monstrous. Though his work is illuminated by a range of masters—from those of the Chinese canon to Rainer Maria Rilke and Wallace Stevens—Gerber’s voice is entirely his own. With a profound sense of history, philosophy, and poetics, he honors an immediate yet ever-changing world and its endangered landscapes.
