<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A poetic biography of Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717), Rare Wondrous Things investigates the history of this German artist and naturalist who made groundbreaking discoveries in entomology. While Merian led an exceptional life-even traveling to Suriname at fifty-two years old in the pursuit of knowledge-her name has largely remained in obscurity, and her personal life is still shrouded in mystery. These poems recover her legacy by exploring the tensions between science and religion, professional aspirations and motherhood, wifehood and independence, and biographer and subject.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alyse Bensel is the author of three chapbooks, including Lies to Tell the Body (Seven Kitchens Press, 2018).
