Irreverent Litanies Poems

In Zack Rogow’s new poetry collection Irreverent Litanies, the poet grapples with religion and spirituality from the viewpoint of someone who grew up in a militantly atheist home. He surprises himself by sometimes finding the wisdom and beauty in a meditative perspective. With laugh-out-loud humor and deep heart, these poems offer new perspectives on contemporary life, from cloning Mozart to traffic bottlenecks in Silicon Valley to the cycles of birth and death.

Zack Rogow is the author, editor, or translator of twenty books or plays. His poetry collections include The Number Before Infinity and Talking with the Radio, poems inspired by jazz and popular music. Rogow has taught in several MFA creative writing programs and writes a blog, Advice for Writers, read internationally.
