A Study in Entropy

<p class=ql-align-justify>Entropy as a concept describes the transformation or transition from a stable to an unstable state. It characterizes any thermodynamic system. This is the theme and structure of the forty-seven poems in the collection <em>A Study in Entropy</em>. Most represent accumulation or desire for extremity followed by destruction expiry as an almost sacred gesture like that of the Danaids at the end and the beginning always with the heavenly: God the Universe the angels the transcendent. The main topics are death pain hope faith water. It is a journey through the Sacred Mountain called life (in the process of writing the book between October 2016 and July 2021 the author visited eight countries around the world from Iceland to Kenya) and incarnated deep in the heart. Karen Harrison's entropy caused by external circumstances by the chaos of everyday life by spiritual and physical wounds has its point of balance - survival achieved at the expense of courage and commitment. The book contains an introduction by the Bulgarian poet Tsvetanka Elenkova.</p>
