If the Sky Is Awake (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734660319)

Why do we have a 24-hour day, 60-minute hour, and 60-second minute? Thank the ancient Egyptians, Sumerians and Babylonians. Going further back, in humanity's early days, time was simply measured by the interval between sunrise and sunset. Today, we have much more precise methods. One second is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of a cesium 133 atom. Confusing? Yes. Sometimes what transpires in daylight is the purest. Each day is a new dawn, a chance to reinvent yourself, find new love, rekindle an old one, and peer into the sky and feel awake, living life by your own clock. Reading poetry is like living life under your own method of time measurement. Lose yourself in your own sky. If The Sky Is Awake is the fifth poetry collection by Kelvin C. Bias.
