Description
Poetry. Editors' Selection from the 2020 Frost Place Chapbook Competition. In THE TEMPLE, Michael Bazzett has created a testament to inhabiting, for a while, a body in this world. It's a hymnal to the absurdity of believing, and believing in the absurd. THE TEMPLE seeks glimpses of the great beyond, a heaven fashioned out of earth and questions, in the here and now.
