Division by Zero is Colin Douglas's third collection of poetry, a curious, enlightening, and disturbing blend of striking imagery, intense spirituality, and subtle eroticism. Dennis Clark, in a review for the Association for Mormon Letters, called Douglas a man too long in the shadows, a remarkable poet whose work proceeds with all the clarity, logic, and irrationality of a dream. The elements of the dream, Clark continues, form a coherent whole without relying on either him or us to know a system of interpretation. That is one of the things that overwhelms me as a reader. The poems do not mean, but be---a state that allows me to inhabit them . . ., trying to find the key to that unknown language. Colin Douglas writes, Poems of this kind can be merest glimpses through a window on the infinite and eternal and marvelous and rationally, literally unspeakable mystery of being; . . . of the erotic and convulsively beautiful ecstasy of Eternal Life and Creation.
