Josiah Hesse moves through existence with eyes wide open to everything the universe holds. His path takes him from the familiar terrain of daily life into death itself, then beyond into spaces where reality bends and transcendence becomes possible. Along the way, he encounters the hard edges where the universe meets its own boundaries. Josiah has witnessed all of it, and his journey unfolds in unrhymed verse that captures both the absurd comedy and deep sorrow of human experience. Robinson presents moments that will make readers laugh out loud alongside others that cut straight to the heart. The collection brings together two of Robinson's earlier works, "This Way To Exit" and "Millennialism," creating a larger meditation on what it means to be alive in a world that constantly shifts between hope and despair. Through Josiah's eyes, the book offers a view of existence that refuses easy answers but ultimately affirms something worth holding onto.
