Intimately Entangled: Essays and Poems
Intimately Entangled is a collection a three short essays, interwoven with poems, that wonders at the underlying structures of the creative mind and its processes. In doing so, it links the seemingly disparate: quantum theory, Japanese gardens, Balinese gamelan, Malaysian fireflies, Vermeer, Magritte, an Ohio wood, and Nagasaki. And through those entanglements, the book, itself, works from beginning to end toward a "formulation/of a continuous singularity".
