Things of Little Consequence
Description
Things of Little Consequence is a philosophical exploration of sentiment, musings, and circumstance that poetically suggests the human condition is less complex than it is complicated?that life is not as enigmatic or indecipherable as we often prefer to believe.
For many, it somehow becomes easier to adhere to the mystical, to the cryptic and the Kafkaesque when confronted with a thousand disparate pieces of life because we sense it would be impossible to comprehend the grand sum of it all, or how those pieces even interconnect. Consequently, we feel we cannot come to understand the individual parts.
John Casey's poetic philosophy of Things suggests that we can. That life is much simpler than most perceive. The human condition is not so confusing as it seems.
