The Messier Objects (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781848614567)

The Messier Objects are a catalogue of astro-nomical bodies discovered and published by Charles Messier in 1771. In this new collection of poems, Michael Zand re-frames these objects as totemic symbols that celebrate the creative and social diversity of the human experience. "The Messier Objects" are thus meditations on the colour and complexity of the universe, and a rejection of a perceived drift towards cultural polarisation, simplification and standardisation.
