A new kaleidoscopic itinerary of poems by Albert Goldbarth, twice winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award "The glass eye = a prosthetic eye.""And a telescope lens?-- the dream life""of the glass eye when it's closed." -- from " About the Dead" Albert Goldbarth's trusty travel guide, "Budget Travel through Space and Time," is a steal. For only $14.00, you can: - Observe the nation of Tuvalu sinking into the Pacific - Discover Goldbarth's Law of Physics (" At the moment when the past becomes two futures, / it becomes two pasts" ) - Earn 27,000 frequent-flyer miles* by accompanying the Arctic tern on its annual migration - Witness William Herschel construct his famed telescope from horse manure in the late 1770s - Journey into the Paleolithic and "waaay" beyond to observe " The Most Ancient Light in Existence" - Witness why Goldbarth is " a dazzling virtuoso who can break your heart" (Joyce Carol Oates), and ponder how " Goldbarth finds startling and intricate connections where no one else has thought to look" (National Book Critics Circle citation, 2002) *Budget restrictions apply
