I pulled this book at random from the library recently and have been quite impressed. Donovan throws everything into the mix of her poems, reminding me of Goldbarth in a way. The collection begins with a quote from Stephen Hawking which seem appropriate since it delves into biology and astronomy. But Donovan keeps the theoretics clear and grounded so that we can follow the metaphor all the way through. Good stuff.
