THE UNIVERSE IN VERSE 15 Portals to Wonder Through Science & Poetry

Maria Popova, creator of THE MARGINALIAN, has compiled a series of essays by an assortment of renowned writers. All share the theme of the mysteries of the universe and existence itself, along with a dash of poetry. Popova and Lili Taylor alternate the narration of these selections; both employ a measured pace, poetic tone, and pleasantly meandering pace as listeners ponder the space-time continuum. Topics include women in science, the Hubble telescope, dark matter, the cosmos, planets, physics, and singularity. Both Popova and Taylor depict the art of the universe and the art of words as they demonstrate the art of narrative performance. S.E.G. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2024]
