Embracing The Moon: Twenty-Five Little Worlds (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780980927375)

Ken Stange is a writer, visual artist, occasional scientific researcher, and a Professor Emeritus at Nipissing University--where he still teaches a course on the "Psychology of Art". He was the founder and editor of Nebula Magazine from 1975 to 1984 and currently edits the reincarnated Nebula as an Internet publication. He works in many forms and likes to mix his media. His works include poetry, fiction, arts journalism, scientific research reports, computer programs, philosophical essays, and visual art, and has literally hundreds of periodical publications. In May 2011, he was awarded the Exile/Vanderbilt prize for Short Fiction by an established writer. He has published 12 books of poetry and fiction, and he calls all his books "hypotheses" because of his interest in the integration of the sciences and the arts. His book, A Smoother Pebble, A Prettier Shell, was a collection of his art works integrated with poems and an extended essay on the relationship of science to visual art. While continuing to write and publish poetry and fiction, he has for almost a decade been devoting much of his energy to a major book (The Secret Agents) on the similarities and differences of creativity in the arts and the sciences-an excerpt of which appears in Mercury Press's anthology Imagination In Action, and in 2012 he gave a TEDx talk on that theme.
