Entanglements: Physics, Love, and Wilderness Dreams
A new poetry collection by Jack Mayer of Middlebury, VT

A Vermont pediatrician and writer reflects on the mysteries of our entanglements from the macroscopic experience of his practice in rural Vermont to the inconceivably small, old, and far away of quantum cosmology. These poems have marinated in wilderness hiking where they are composed and infused with the singular mindfulness of a hushed forest.

Reading and book signing. Wed. April 26, at 6:30 pm - Shelburne Town Hall
