Imagine Society: A Poem A Dayby Jean Mercier
The latest in a series of A Poem A Day books by lauded everyman poet Jean Mercier, Imagine Society is an accolade to the wonderment of life, a collection of 365 poems that capture moments as diverse as a wind-whipped sunset, a lover’s embrace, the sudden recognition that all entities and essences are one.The perfect gift for a friend or loved one, Imagine Society is a thought-provoking study in existence that chooses to be deeply curious and calmly celebratory rather than blatantly and uninterestingly “inspiring.” Of course, some of the topics addressed herein are traditional in subject—the beauty of nature, the sacredness of love, the strength of the spirit—but Mercier treats these with a refreshing eye and chooses to include poems with more of a balancing edge, addressing alienation, war, morality, and prejudice with a tactful and delicate aplomb that catalyzes thought, even debate, but stops short of causing angst or worry. After all, A Poem A Day is all about serenity. Mercier, prolific author of over seventy books of verse, says of poetry that “without its magic, we are truly not much of anything.” He may well be right, and at the very least I recommend bringing the magic of Mercier’s words into each day with a quick morning read of one of his Zen-like aphorisms—for A Poem A Day could certainly change one’s life within a year.
