Like its companion Seventy Moral (and Immoral) Polarities of the Everyday (2016), this volume is a set of seventy mini-meditations on opposite states of the moral or emotional life – goodness and badness, ugly and beautiful, quiet and raucous. Each item, in each polarity, is allowed to gather up a picture, a tale, or a logical adventure, and then to leave behind it multi-part reflections which play out in the reader’s mind. The operational energy here is partly prayer or mantra and partly half-completed logical conundrum. Is there a new form of private devotional at work here?

Frederic Will has published fifty-six books, ranging from cultural history, philosophy, poetry, translation, and fiction to travel narrative, and is currently completing a new sequence of six interrelated volumes on the character of everyday existence. He has received six Fulbright Grants from the United States Government and multi-year support from the National Endowment for the Humanities for his journal of world poetry in translation, Micromegas, and has been the recipient of fellowships from the Bollingen Foundation and the American Council of Learned Societies. He was a founding editor, with William Arrowsmith, Donald Carne-Ross, and John Sullivan, of the journal of Classical culture, Arion. His poetry has received praise in the UK; the TLS has described his poetic work as “accomplished and insightful,” and his criticism as “brilliant.” His lifetime literary papers are collected in the Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas, USA.
