“What is time to a light beam? How did we get here?”

Disguised as an examination book in which a student writes everything he or she knows about a subject, Evidence for Rainfall is a book of secrets whispered from afar, in a tone that plays loose with the trope of scientific detachment. These poetical texts will tantalize inquisitive minds and tickle the imagination.

Several poems in this chapbook have been published previously in literary journals: “Excerpts from the Astronomical Revolution” and “The Legend of the Golden Toad” in The Journal of the Core Curriculum; “A Short Course in Cloud Physics” and “The Wave” in Neon; “The Burgess Shale” in The Antigonish Review; “Tracks” in Clarion; “A Brief History of Light” and “The History of Gravity” in Wilderness House Literary Review; “Instructions on How to Build a Cloud” in Café Irreal; and “Whale Migration” in Rumble.
