Children of Obscura: This Mysterious Human (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781939639431)

Children of Obscura: This Mysterious Human, Dane Cervine's second book of prose poems with Sixteen Rivers Press, combines a luminous array of scientific facts with enigmatic stories--stories not only about human life but, importantly, about the complexities of physical life itself, the intricacies of matter flowering into entire worlds. Cervine's accessible and intriguing poems reflect the wonders of both the physical science to which we're bound and the physio-anthropology of humans on this obscure planet rotating in the vastness of space. Children of Obscura takes us on a journey that is part cabinet of curiosities, part Zen-imbued guided tour, each poem surprising, each poem a koan of its own.
