A field guide to the heavens
by Frank Gaspar
"A Field Guide to the Heavens is punctuated with the designs of science, the wondering and rapt observations of the sky made at the eyepiece of a backyard telescope. In this collection, the mystical and the mundane are threaded together to bring us more than a guide to the heavens; Gaspar offers a guide to human experience.
In poems that may juxtapose the presence of Mohammed, Buddha, Augustine, George Herbert, Emily Dickinson, or Blake with a family selling their belongings from an old pickup truck or June bugs beating at the poet's late-night windows, the magnitude of the fleeting human moment is weighed against themes as enduring as the stars."--BOOK JACKET.
