PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Marjolijn van Heemstra is a poet, novelist, playwright, and space reporter for the Dutch news organization De Correspondent. The award-winning author of three collections of poetry and a novel, van Heemstra lives in Amsterdam.
Understanding the universe involves a certain cold scientific detachment, but van Heemstra takes us on a delightful and entertaining journey in which the inescapable human story and interpretation of what it all means is blended seamlessly with discovery. A rich and thoroughly enjoyable read.--Charles Cockell, author of Taxi from Another Planet and The Equations of Life In her own quest for perspective, Marjolijn van Heemstra beautifully weaves together strands of science, poetry, natural history, and philosophy to construct a possible lifeline for the disoriented and perplexed. A warm and elegant book.--Meg Howrey, author of They're Going to Love You and The Wanderers A lovely, lyrical book about the search for signs of life in these perilous times. Van Heemstra gracefully illuminates the difficulties and delights of connection in our increasingly chaotic world.--Jenny Offill, author of Weather and Dept. of Speculation Marjolijn van Heemstra's radiant intellect makes the cold, dark cosmos feels like a warm, well-lit place. Somehow, she has written a book on the emptiness of space that is suffused with a rich sense of humanity.--Marcia Bjornerud, author of Timefulness: How Thinking Like a Geologist Can Help Save the World
