When I discovered Heikki Huotari, his laugh-out-loud intellectual poetry incited in me an outcry of “Encore!” as I read such lines as “Everybody has a null hypothesis to bear,” and “Nice nothingness you got there; be a shame if something were to happen.” Huotari’s gift of crafting confident, intriguing poems builds on his extensive mathematical knowledge and companion philosophical inclinations. The reader is quickly inspired to examine the vernacular, engage in speculation, and shift expectation as the lingo goes. Huotari choreographs a myriad of observations that wittily spawn new perceptions, wryly reminding us that “Acts of God do not just happen.”

But here’s the catch—you’ll stay grounded exactly where you sit, through language that acts like illuminated funhouse mirrors reflecting the otherworldly world we now live in. Open these seriously amusing pages and enjoy your distant travels to right here.
