Firmament

Picture
2008, Higganum Hill Books, available on Amazon

In Firmament, the polarity of faith and science creates an energy force field in which a person can be both skeptic and true believer, reverently letting opposing images collide and combine into startling metaphors: a child gathers pulsars in a grass-lined basket, and an agnostic astronomer prays to Einstein’s cosmological constant.

“Housley’s poems are so exquisite I’ve read them over several times … Her depth of understanding is bolstered by her scientific background, but delivering a profound faith in the process.” Jean Rodenbough, writer and poet.
