Ernesto Cardenal2 editions

Long descriptive poems, collages of surreal scientific knowledge. Snap-shots of the origin of the universe, quantum physics, and the evolution of our solar system and life on Earth. Facts and images from biology, anthropology, history, theology, personal memory, and revolutionary ideals. The work takes on the very largest themes of existence in the form of a rapid cycling cut-up, the monologue of an old mind in an advanced state of knowledge.
