What is the meaning of life, and how should one live?

Dying friends, angels, lovers, myths, strangers and ordinary life; these are all things Monahan focuses on in his answer to these questions. Through 40 poems he uses characters, dialogue and story to attempt to answer these questions that have plagued philosophy since the dawn of civilisation.

Continuing down the intellectual lineage of Camus and other existentialists, Monahan ends up on Relationism, a new philosophy of attention, engagement and relation, suggesting that perhaps life itself was the answer all along.

Read it, think about it, love it or hate it, but either way, after reading this book, go outside and feel it. Be introduced to a new way of seeing the beautiful and complex world we inhabit.

This book is a considerable jump in quality from his first, and truly shows Monahan coming into his own artistically and philosophically. Serving as the springboard to Relationism, this book serves as both a philosophical piece of literature and a poetry collection, and should be read as such.
