The Planets: a scifaiku poetry collection by Wendy Van Camp
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
In this collection of poems Wendy captures the essence, or rather, the myriad essences of the wildly individual planets in our Solar system. Her vivid imagery and suggestive language prompt us to look past oversimplifications and preconceptions of chunks of rock and balls of gas, to see each living world in it’s own light. In this light perhaps we are able also to decontextualize our own mundane experiences on this beautiful spinning ball within the great dance of the universe.
