Riffing on Strings
Riffing on Strings is a unique collection of creative writing that explores the cosmic and cultural resonances of string theory. The book includes thought-provoking essays, short stories, poems, and a play from over 40 acclaimed authors, including Nobel Laureate Sheldon Glashow, Michio Kaku, Peter Woit, Adam Roberts, Colette Inez, Brenda Hillman, Joseph Radke, Bruce Holland Rogers, and Carole Bugge. "Sean Miller and Shveta Verma have put together an exhilaratingly eclectic anthology of creative and expository writing about one of the most exciting (even if controversial) intellectual fields of our time: string theory. Just Miller's erudite introduction by itself is worth the price of this sparkling collection." - S. Abbas Raza, Managing Editor of 3 Quarks Daily "Putting together a theory of everything requires a lot of creativity, and more than a little audacity - qualities which are also abundant in this collection of stories and poems inspired by string theory. Riffing on Strings is guaranteed to stimulate both hemispheres of your brain." - Sean Carroll, Theoretical Physicist, California Institute of Technology & Creator of Cosmic Variance
Mona Poetica
Poetry. Edited by Diane Shipley DeCillis and Mary Jo Firth Gillett. The Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the history of art. It continues to inspire reproduction, parody and countless theories. We see facsimiles of it everywhere: on buildings and mugs, on computer ads, in cartoons. In honor of her 500th birthday, 2003-2006, MONA POETICA celebrates not only the painting but also inspiration and creativity. This rich and varied anthology includes work by: Stephen Dunn, Grace Bauer, William Blake, Edward Hirsch, Natasha Saje and many others. Diane Shipley DeCillis is a graduate of University of Michigan whose poems have appeared in numerous journals. She also owns an award-wining art gallery in Southfield, Michigan. Mary Jo Firth Gillett's award-winning chapbooks are Not One (Detroit Writer's Voice, '98), Tiger in a Hairnet (Small Poetry Press, Select Poets Series, '99), and Chandeliers of Fish (Poetry West, '04). Her poetry also appears in the anthology of Michigan poets, New Poems from the Third Coast. Mary Jo has won the N.Y. Open Voice Poetry Award and teaches poetry workshops for Springfed Arts-Metro Detroit Writers.
