Quantum Heresies before the title

before the title

these poems paint an intimate portrait of tragedy

though a chapbook

it is poetry that can capture and cradle the souls of those decaying in fields of white bone

Quantum Heresies before the titleMary Peelens spare poems pulse with what they contain and describein both the imagistic and the mathematical sense of the wordharnessing the power of the sciences to navigate the chthonic worlds of illness, loss, and desire on both personal and planetary scales. Peelen denies the divisions of mind and body, art and science, precision and ardor. Her poems resonate with allusion (Lady Lazaruss hair as a supernova) and sound (copernicium, ununoctium).
