The essays on Mostly Aesthetics are mostly about philosophy, and the arts, and aesthetics. The poems are mostly about other things. The author, Brad Skow, is a philosopher at MIT.
Topics range from the qualities that make a story good, to the history of adoption; from form and meaning in poetry, or declining vision, to free speech, and liberalism and conservatism. There are poems about history and about the interpretation of quantum mechanics; there’s an entire series about American Independence.
