Dark Matter

by Christopher Buckley

Poetry. "DARK MATTER is a beautifully focused book, the work of a gifted poet coming, at midlife, into his full powers. Time and the shifts of time are the not simply time as recollection or loss, but also and everywhere the persistent loneliness of star time, mastodon time, so that finally these are poems in which reflection takes on uncommon amplitude and presence. There is something here that is deeply human and courageous, something like what I find in the essays of Loren Eiseley. And all this would be nothing, of course, without the language, which is the glory of these poems" -Peter Everwine.

Still a nice read, a fabric of astrophysics and nuns.
