A Treatise on Stars by Mei-mei Berssenbrugge
4.0
You can rise to a level of not knowing that's untouched by entropy.
Out of uncertainty, openness: order is maintained.
You rise to a realization beyond decay.
There's a deeper intelligence than that."
Berssenbrugge is a favorite of mine, and this collection is a cohesion of science, magic, philosophy, and nature. Her lines are designed to enact the reader's senses and open their mind. While the poems are long and not terribly narrative or lyrical, they're thought-provoking in a pleasing way, especially if you're a creative type. Read these, let them push you to a thinking that is somehow both large and intimate.
