The Meaning of Life and Other Poems Thomas Kleven

The book consists of forty-four mostly metered and rhymed poems, each of which is accompanied by an image related to the theme of the poem. The overall theme of the book is a question: What is the significance of life for a thinking being aware of having but a brief moment of a nearly incomprehensible span of time in this tiny spot of an almost unfathomably immense universe? What better way to contemplate the question than through the exercise of ones imagination.
