The printer states: "My Partial Tongue by poet Martha Ronk uses phrases from an essay on gardens and plants by Sir Thomas Brown a 17th-century essayist who wrote about the order in nature. The poems have a great deal of space in them space suggestive of what is missing and of silence and reflect a feeling of distances from the natural world that seems to be disappearing… I created photographs of plants and feathers that reflect the content of the poems. The images were digitally manipulated and separated then printed in tight registration on Rives BFK." Pie in the Sky Press, hardcover books

2020br. Il cielo notturno da sempre suscita ammirazione ed è fonte di ispirazione per artisti, poeti, scrittori e amanti, ma rappresenta anche un'occasione incomparabile di conoscenza per gli astrofisici che, a loro volta incantati, trascorrono lunghe ore a osservare il cosmo per indagarne e svelarne i misteri. Anche Trinh Xuan Thuan approfitta di un cielo favorevolmente calmo e terso per trascorrere una notte a contemplare le galassie nane compatte blu nell'osservatorio di Mauna Kea, sull'isola di Hawaii. Intanto, avendo per compagni di viaggio l'arte e la letteratura, passa in rassegna le grandi domande che l'astronomia si è posta nel corso dei secoli e le risposte che finora si è data. Appaga la naturale curiosità del lettore conducendolo con passione, competenza e chiarezza in un'affascinante esplorazione della bellezza e dei segreti dell'universo. Che cosa sono le stelle, i pianeti, le galassie, gli ammassi di galassie? Come e da che cosa ha avuto origine l'universo? E qual è il suo destino? Qual è la soluzione di enigmi come quelli della materia oscura e dell'energia oscura? Dobbiamo pensare di essere soli nel cosmo o da qualche parte esistono altre forme di vita e di intelligenza? Passato, presente e futuro si incontrano e sovrappongono nell'osservazione dello spazio: riusciamo a vedere oggi quanto è già accaduto miliardi di anni fa e a immaginare cosa potrà succedere tra miliardi di anni. Basta contemplare l'oscurità celeste, con sete di sapere e umiltà, finché non sorge di nuovo il Sole.
