The King of Prussia Is Drunk on Stars

In this newest collection by award-winning multilingual poet and translator, Marc Vincenz, we traverse lunarscapes and more earthly seasonal time-spaces. The King of Prussia is Drunk on Stars is a liminal peek into the galaxy of our mortality where, like Ray Bradbury's Illustrated Man, death is inscribed on our bodies. These poems explore the moment our passions challenge our destinies, when "summer has forgotten us," and when we travel into the eternal blue of the mind and find the "domed umbrella of light: " an essential prayer to life on earth and elsewhere.
