Description

Book Synopsis
Cast as a dialogue among six interlocuters, this lyric blend of poetry and prose considers light from a variety of perspectives - philosophical, physical, ethical, and metaphorical.

Trade Review
"Six voices dialogue across centuries. Their delightful - and delightfully translated - exchanges range through philosophers, poets, and scientists as far apart as Aristotle and Lord Kelvin. As the voices follow each other in sestinalike permutation, they encircle - now by propositions, now by poems - "the sum of light [that] is the world." ROSMARIE WALDROP"
