Jim
Tilley's latest poetry collection, When Godot Arrived, eighty-one
free-verse sonnets, continues the explorations from the set of new poems in his
previous book, Ripples in the Fabric of the Universe. As in that
previous book, he draws on his experience as a poet and mathematician to fix a
lens on the current raw state of the country and the world and on interpersonal
relationships. At times, his mood is merely contemplative, especially in his
testaments to family, but as he delves relentlessly into matters political,
ecological, and environmental, that mood turns darker, even ominous, infused
occasionally with humor to present a more optimistic outlook. Together with Ripples
in the Fabric of the Universe, When Godot Arrived is a most
expansive read.

"Confront personal losses as well as the numerous harbingers of environmental collapse, from birds to beavers to beetles along Red River or beside Lake Marie, eddies and currents evoking social, economic, and political conflicts beyond the trails hiked in many of these poems."--James Scruton, author of The Rules
When Godot Arrived uses eighty free-verse sonnets to explore the intersections of family, environment, politics, and the human condition, balancing contemplative reflection with dark humor and lyrical precision in a world of uncertainty.
