Nothing Is for Everyone

This insightful collection explores the nature of language and existence. Nothing Is for Everyone invites readers to reflect on the significance of nothingness.

A wise and energizing book of poems suffused with music, mysticism, tenderness, and wit. Nothing Is for Everyone by Eden Pearlstein serves as a manifesto of the unmanifest, weaving together diverse influences and expressions. This wild collection draws upon rabbinic linguistics, kabbalistic meditation, free jazz, hip-hop, and the works of Marcel Duchamp and the Magid of Mezritch.

Pearlstein's poetic voice insists that, ultimately, nothing truly matters, inviting reflection on the deeper meanings of existence and the human experience.
