Emerging Views: Illuminations in Poetry and Painting

Emerging Views combines the authors poetry and painting. It ranges from images and verse inspired by the Hubble Telescope to those arising from intimate moments and the beauty of nature. As Barbara Bennett notes It conveys the Oneness of experience from newborn babies to star systems being as cosmic as it is intimate. Jeffrey Dugan notes that Marye Gail Harrison deftly weaves art and science letting her poetry and paintings give voice to her passion for cosmology and letting that science inspire her art but she also revels in family relationship and the natural world. Beverly Spence writes that Harrisons words and paintings invite the reader to look down to the flowers and up to the stars. When you come back to your own life you bless the ordinary and extraordinary wonders of the universe we share. Always the voice of the poems in this remarkable book is the voice of a philosopher a seer.
