Publisher Marketing: "In Daniela Gioseffi's poetry we're inspired to understand and embrace the natural world. Gioseffi's sympathy and empathy are everywhere in her poems and books, as in this new collection with her never-ending love for nature and the intricate and mysterious science of which it, and we, are composed . . . Imbued with respect for biological truths in an unfathomable universe-the poet reminds us we are made of the very dust of exploding stars. But, there's humor, too, in poems like Big Hearted, Witty and Wide-Eyed. After all despair is realized, the glories of the natural world can save us with inspiration to collective community, where lives influence each other, and we all breathe the same atmosphere. In quoting the Pledge of Allegiance to our flag, Daniela Gioseffi reminds us we're one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all." —Philip Appleman
