About the Book

"Mind Dance is an impressive collection of poems that draw on the formal poetry tradition but are not limited by it. Purdy is innovative with form and content, and he can sustain a complex, extended meditation more cogently and movingly, than all but a handful of his peers." -A. M. Juster

Mind Dance is a book of poems that celebrates the poetry and rhythm that suffuses all of life from the subatomic particle to the human being. It is a contemporary Metaphysical Poetry, filled with images from our sciences and rhythms suggesting the energy and variety of life itself. Compelling contemporary metaphors drawn from astronomy, physics, neurology, biology and mathematics, explain themselves as an integral part of the poems and the everyday lives they expand and enrich.

This is not a disguised science book, however. There is no need to have a science degree or to set aside research time in order to understand these poems. All the reader needs to know explains itself clearly in the text.

Equally to the point, these poems are filled with a universe overflowing with ballet, Hopak, square dance and other joyous steps. From swirling galaxies to primitive cells to brain neurons, the universe is dancing! And we dance our part, as well, in rock concerts and weddings and births and gardening and economic collapses and divorces and dreams and much more.

So join us, then. Join the dance through the sweeping vistas of space and time and the minuscule universes contained in every subatomic particle. Add your thoughts to the drama and the comedy of the great poem of Life. Come on! Join the Mind Dance!
