A glacier serves as a record of memory while a scientific translation by Sharon Yellowfly creates a fresh dialogue between gravitational wave physics and the traditional indigenous language of Blackfoot. Along the way, we encounter questions of whether Lucretius was mad, watch Newton wrestle with the infinitesimal, hear Heisenberg wonder whether atoms can be visualized, and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether, the poems and hybrids in \u003ci\u003eAll Motion She Believes\u003c\/i\u003e confront enduring questions in natural philosophy about the cause of motion and the reality of atoms, as well as modern incarnations of those questions, asking how do we might visualize and interpret the remote objects and happenings of physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReed's previous chapbooks include her ecopoetics work, \u003ci\u003eStill Recognizable Forms\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWorld, Composed\u003c\/i\u003e, a dialogue with the ancient poet Lucretius about atoms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inverted Syntax","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":67631076737341,"sku":null,"price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0477\/8731\/1254\/files\/9798987231722ita.jpg?v=1791246148","url":"https:\/\/itascabooks.com\/products\/all-motion-she-believes","provider":"Itasca Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
