In \u003ci\u003eA Cluster of Noisy Planets\u003c\/i\u003e, Rafferty captures the rhythms and patterns of life as a lover, father, and poet, distilling each moment to its essence and grounding them collectively in the wider perspective of a changing world, the constant turning of the stars and the changing seasons of the New England countryside. With a knowing nod to the passage of time-day to day, year to year, epoch to epoch-these lyrical poems form a record of the profound, ephemeral joys, losses, and echoes of commonplace moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles Rafferty is the author of 14 poetry books and chapbooks, most recently \u003ci\u003eThe Smoke of Horses\u003c\/i\u003e (BOA Editions, 2017), \u003ci\u003eSomething an Atheist Might Bring Up at a Cocktail Party\u003c\/i\u003e (Mayapple Press, 2018), and \u003ci\u003eThe Problem With Abundance\u003c\/i\u003e (Grayson Books, 2019).
