An Introduction to Error

<p><em>An Introduction to Error </em>explores how facts align or misalign with the heart where error isn't fault but space to see more clearly. Lockwood's poems reveal how as she writes I ran in socks / across the carpet thrilled / with fright but powerless. In signal poems like My Chemistry in which the methods of tracking ocean currents resonate with Lockwood's personal exploration of time and yearning inquiry drives both science and the lyric impulse linking them to our reach for truths that keep slipping away. Error isn't failure but a lyric path through mystery and doubt. Science and soul collide in this dazzling collection.</p><p><strong>-Ed Skoog author of <em>Travelers Leaving for the City</em></strong></p>
