Poetry

"A new collection from a poet whose ""celebrations of science and approachable yet profound spiritual connection to the Earth delight, entertain, and elevate"" (The Poetry Foundation)

"" Rogers'

poems bring an openness of spirit and an almost scientific curiosity to the world at her feet, cataloging unexpected connections everywhere she looks.""-New York Times Book Review

A new collection from a poet whose""celebrations of science and approachable yet profound spiritual connection to the Earth delight, entertain, and elevate""(The Poetry Foundation)

Denise Levertov has called the poet Pattiann Rogers ""a visionary of reality, perceiving the material world with such intensity of response that impulse, intention, meaning, interconnections beyond the skin of appearance are revealed."" The consistent theme In Flickering, her new collection, is the very breadth and prodigiousness of the universe itself. These wise poems, many inspired by various kinds of flickering actions in plants, animals, and natural processes, move nimbly between inner and outer worlds as Rogers addresses themes ranging from beauty, resilience and creation to the tensions and relationships between humans and wildness."

Reviews for Flickering

Advance praise for Flickering: [Flickering] burnishes [Rogers'] reputation as a transcendental poet of science, with Emersonian grandiosity . . . Verses of dizzying scope succumb to the gravitational pull of breathtakingly precise lines . . . This is a poignant homage to scientific attention and mystery. -Publishers Weekly
