The Behaviour of Clocks: Poems

By Sally Ashton

Poetry. California Interest. Sally Ashton's new collection of prose poems debuts very nearly on the 100th anniversary of the first observation confirming Albert Einstein's prediction that light from another star would be bent by the sun's gravity. In THE BEHAVIOUR OF CLOCKS she uses Einstein's famous thought experiments as the launchpad for a poetic inquiry into time--the simultaneity of the past, present, and future in how each informs any moment. Fellow poet Amy Gerstler writes, "Ashton's investigative meditations maintain constant awareness of territories shared by physics and poetry. These wonderfully reflective poems arise from something like a physicist's precision of mind and a shaman's sensitivity of vision."
