Rebecca Elson was an astronomer; her work took her to the boundary of the visible and measurable. \"Facts are only as interesting as the possibilities they open up to the imagination,\" she wrote. Her poems, like her researches, build imaginative inferences and speculations, setting out from observation, undeterred by knowing how little we can know.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Elson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784106550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784106553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Rebecca Elson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051490144511,"sku":"9781784106553","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff183167-b0a0-4f20-9989-89c51beebec0.jpg?v=1685013411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-responsibility-to-awe-rebecca-elson-9781784106553","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
