Terminal Human Velocity

(Poetry) A woman leaps from the Empire State Building but falls only a single floor before she is blown back inside. So begins Christina Olsons second collection of poetry a rollicking richly imagined mosaic that pits science history and fate against one another in an attempt to answer the bedeviling questions of cause and effect. TERMINAL HUMAN VELOCITY is a steady-voiced multi-faced narrative of the human condition mythic yet modern—keenly inquisitive never complacent and ceaselessly compelling.
