Description
In an expansive new collection encompassing myths and science, the political and personal, the local and global, lyrical and technical language, from outer space to the microscopic, Nyman asks us to pay attention to how our present-day actions will impact future ecological events.
These poems listen to the creaking of space and wash of oceans, document the methane dunes on Pluto and eroding runes at Back Beach, and search the Finnish Kalevala mythology for answers.
Anatomy of Sand invites readers into a world where the boundaries between different spheres blur, urging a reflection on our place in the cosmos and our responsibility towards it.
