In this follow-up collection to Signs of Self Utopia, Christopher Jones' In Likeness of Lifetimes is a selection of choice observations and inquiries into the subtle nuances of daily living. While inexhaustive at a mere 95 poems, Jones delivers a range of speculations confronting the unavoidable troubles of parenting and its treasuries of joy, the coerciveness of becoming, and momentary regression.
While Jones spends the majority of his time researching atmospheric effects and low altitude aviation, he still manages to find time to read and write. He holds a professional degree in theology and philosophy that informs his writing interests in postmodernism, romantic aesthetics, parenting, and nature. His artistic engagements intend to exploit known compatibilities and perceived conflicts in faith and reason, the grand complexity of physical existence, and the compelling tension between love, abstraction, and reality.
