Cosmic Questions Ken Lauter

Where do we live? The standard answer is: on a certain street, in a particular town, state, country, and continent- but a more fundamental answer is: in a specific solar system, in a galaxy among innumerable galaxies. Cosmic Questions scrutinizes the cosmos for clues to our 'residence, ' our human identity, and the realities of Earth. In both stars and atoms, Ken Lauter finds endless awe and a unique perspective on humanity- one perhaps not comforting in any simple way, but providing fierce poetic energy. As he says in his introduction, "I could go on writing star poems for the rest of my life."
