A year-and-a-half after beginning the project, he bundled the poems together under the title \u003cem\u003eHuman Abstract\u003c\/em\u003e, and, after whittling the collection down, he found himself with a nearly 200-page manuscript. Before his death in Sept. 2019, he expressed a clear wish that these poems might reach a wider public. Night-utterances written in the hours before dawn, HUMAN ABSTRACT, chronicles the passage from winter to spring, and explores the implicit mystery of what it is to be a human in time, capable of humor and longing, desire and violence: gone in a flash. The poems are a reflection of life, breathing, aching to be read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Poems that change our breath as we fall under the poet's spell. Each of us reading these pages aloud proves Karl Parker is alive in the quiet heart of this rapacious planet.
