The Blind Singer

by Chris Price

Overview

Drawing on a wide range of material, this compendium of poetry integrates science, legend, history, biography, and film into a fiery collection of verse. From melody and empiricism to skepticism and superstition, the work's dialogue between poetry and science is by turns observant, charming, and dramatic. Bursting with musical elements from bells, nursery rhymes, and traditional ballads to Chaplin and Einstein playing string quartets, this poetry collection is a luminous performance that reverberates long after the reading is finished.
