Description
Taking its name from an astronomical radio source (and likely supermassive black hole) at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, Ben Kline’s Sagittarius A* contains poems that interpolate wonder and living with interstellar phenomena and theories in astrophysics. Pondering the body, the self, spaceships and wormholes, Kline’s work reminds us that the stars can show us a path to understanding ourselves. Like beams of light illuminating darkness, where we know something moves, these poems ask: What is that?
