Really beautiful poetry, a really interesting voice. There are thoughts on a lot of different things - life, science, art, a sense of place - but an overall flow throughout that's lovely. I particularly loved the last three poems in the book, with Why Astronomy Matters being my favorite. I'm definitely keeping my copy!

A really, exceptionally good introduction to Tantra that truly makes it feel accessible to anyone interested. Goes well beyond a how-to book, and is amazingly inclusive. Definitely going to be reading all other books by this wonderful author.
