Keith Gottschalk is one of very few English language poets after
Walt Whitman to compose poems celebrating engineers, inventions,
and scientists. With wit and paradox, these poems explore our solar
system, and celebrate astronomers and spaceflight. This collection
opens with an imaginary trip through time from Copernicus to
Einstein - those who literally made space as we conceptualise it
today. It closes with an imaginary trip through our solar system.
In between, we find moving elegies to astronauts who lost their
lives, and celebrations of a glittering international constellation
of engineers, inventors, mathematicians, and researchers. Irony,
allusions, double-entendres, and wonderment are always looking over
the reader's shoulder. Many of these poems, composed over
thirty-four years, have already been individually published to
acclaim in literary and other magazines.
