Annus Mirabilis

by Sally Ball

Poetry. Sally Ball's first collection of poems is something of conversations and relationships-the connections and differences between personal life and the natural world, the Zen-like attention to suffering and knowledge. This is a work of intellectual and artistic inquiry, peeling away the delusion that something can explain our mortality and our existence. A work of scientific theory and probing questions that leave us with only one real explanation: luck.
