By Light and Hidden Matter

by Lynne Goldsmith

Overview

By Light and Hidden Matter is a celebration of the natural world--a poet's response of gratitude and reverence for all the workings of the universe, for all that's seen and unseen and all that's yet to be discovered. Lynne gives voice to some of the everyday miracles, mystery, and interplay of life here on Earth and beyond--the coexistence and transformation of a diversity of natural phenomena in different stages of being.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Moving from the creation of stone to the creation of stars and back again, Lynne Goldsmith takes the reader on a journey from the mountains of the Andes, the Chilean rainforest, and the Sierra Nevada, through various lifeforms—their life cycles, demise, and contribution to other forms—and out into the furthest reaches of our galaxy and beyond. By Light and Hidden Matter is an apt and clever title, as its meaning evolves and changes through the reading of this cohesive collection.”

—David Anthony Martin, author of Bijoux



“The myth of self-sufficiency on ‘this fragile earth, our island home’ remains a fantasy that holds us hostage and leaves us wanting. Lynne Goldsmith performs alchemy with the physical realm and the mystical realm of spirit. Her poetry uncovers and illuminates the interconnected, interdependent reality of the cosmos and human life within. Her cadence reveals the world woven and wondrous, seen and unseen. Sit . . . breathe . . . read . . . ponder . . . dream . . . connect . . . enjoy.”
