Descrição

Carlo Rovelli, Italian physicist, says that "the world is not a collection of things, it is a collection of events." Poet Diane Louie thinks of prose poems as little events. They are happening and happenings. They draw on experience, image, metaphor, and all the properties of language to create little worlds-in-motion: spinning while orbiting, actively shifting our point of view.

More genus than hybrid species, prose poems can straddle the obvious limits and less-obvious liberties of perception. This active characteristic of spanning and connecting is especially relevant in a time of cultural polarization. Marrying, even uneasily, the inquiries of science and spiritual longing can illuminate what they--and we--have in common: a desire to understand our presence in a universe that does not yield ultimate answers.

Sobre o Livro

Poemas em prosa de Diane Louie funcionam como pequenos eventos, combinando imagem, metáfora e descrição de experiência para criar mundos em movimento.

Aproximação entre investigações científicas e anseios espirituais estabelece pontos de contato que exploram nosso lugar num universo sem respostas finais.

Leitura privilegia deslocamentos de ponto de vista e variações de ritmo, com textos curtos que giram em torno de percepções cotidianas e imagens instáveis.
