<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Eleanor Wilner's sudden flights of lyricism are disarming and dazzling.--<i>The New York Times</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Eleanor Wilner's sixth collection creates a mythology that sees a planet too small and a universe too immense to support humanity's illusions of importance. Her poems become a "choral work of the imagination" in which science is re-envisioned, gender assumptions challenged and beliefs rigorously questioned. As the old gods are reabsorbed into the modern world, Wilner discovers new insights into culture and the human psyche.</p><p>"I have always treasured Wilner's poetry for its visionary amplitude and revolutionary intelligence."--Alicia Ostriker</p><p>Eleanor Rand Wilner is the author of six books of poetry and the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship. She lives in Philadelphia, teaches at Warren Wilson College, and is a lifelong activist for civil rights and peace.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Eleanor Rand Wilner is the author of six books of poetry and a critical book on visionary imagination.
