Shaken by Physics

by John MacKenzie, Lynn Henry (Editor), Ingrid E. Paulson

Do concepts in classical and quantum physics have relevance to the spirit of human existence? In this second volume of poetry by John MacKenzie, the poet questions whether forays into rigorous scientific exploration are simply another form of mythmaking. With brilliant imagery, gutsy humor, and earthy storytelling, these bold and beautiful poems explore the attraction to a scientific master plan.
