Rebecca Elson was an astronomer; her work took her to the boundary of the visible and measurable. \"Facts are only as interesting as the possibilities they open up to the imagination,\" she wrote. Her poems, like her researches, build imaginative inferences and speculations, setting out from observation, undeterred by knowing how little we can know.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784106553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Rebecca Elson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36668677914780,"sku":"9781784106553","price":17.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_31858a6f-2813-4de7-a4f6-fea7b6b2b653.jpg?v=1603918166","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-responsibility-to-awe-9781784106553","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
