"Renowned poet and translator, David Keplinger authors his seventh original poetry collection. The World to Come is an investigation of possible and impossible worlds, where the fields of science and alchemy, astronomy and astrology, intersect as they once did in the Medieval and earlier mystical traditions. The worlds of its title are those of weather, the imagination, literature, planetary systems, and even other dimensions. David Keplinger extends Dante's visit to the concentric spheres, for the sake of disrupting the past's hold on our visions of the future."
