Description
Sally Ashton brings to readers what she heard as time and space had their way with us during the early years of the pandemic. In these poems, she creates Einsteinian thought experiments, tools for understanding and enduring the grief and beauty of a world where ‘nothing stands still.’ Loss and wonder, dread and awe gyrate throughout the book, spinning like heavenly bodies, the poet equally rigorous and tender in her search for ‘words that make the world look like what it feels like.’ Ashton reveres the mysterious movement of the world and offers it as a comfort.
