String Theory is Sandy Crimmin's first book of poetry. Weaving together through string imagery the poetry articulates the perilous balance between science and faith. Ms. Crimmins explores through experiences and musings, the inevitable logic of analytical science and the raw truth and strength of nature. All four elements; fire, water, earth and air; are interspersed throughout the book, with the fifth element bringing the book to a close is time.
Sandy Crimminshas been published in a variety of print and electronic journals, including American Writing and Philadelphia Stories, and in the anthologies The Eternal Now, Meridian Bound and Pagan's Muse. Her work has been read as part of the WritingAloud series in Philadelphia and in venues from Boston to Washington, DC. One show, Iowa Summer, created in collaboration with musicians Richard Drueding and Stephe Ferraro, was released on CD. Her most recent show, El Cid in Flamenco and Flames, brought together musician David Falcone, choreographer and fireeater Tomas Dura and a troupe of flamenco dancers for a new look at the poem The Lay of the Cid. |
from Genesis Pointing the way To light and air Earth and life Even now we fear the slight brimstone Burp of the indiscernible dawn The pressured whomp Of Big Bang theory The million small bumps Of stars being released from a fog of Burning hydrogen It scares us We have never seen far enough into our dim past Or close enough in our bright present To know anything Instead we believe We choose to believe Stories of both science and faith This is enough for us |
