How Little I Know

Collection Overview

The poems in this collection are divided into five pamphlets: Gods, Romance, Fantasy, Humanity, and Animals—the preoccupations of the past decade. The more deeply one listens to these outer voices, Gans seems to be saying, the less one really knows.

If knowing consists of a body of knowledge acquired through a life where there is little opportunity offered or taken to listen, the body of what we think we know—let alone understand—becomes minute indeed.

Here are poems written below the static radar, meant to be read aloud.
