Poet tugs upon the human psyche with Quantum Physics

With the subtle mystery of Schrödinger’s famous cat, the work evokes a range of physical conundrums, including Einstein's weird action at a distance, the birth of galaxies, the beginnings of the universe, the nature of space/time, dark matter, and string theory among others.


"I love the interplay between the micro world of Quantum physics and the macro world that Astronomy takes us into. Once you get past a certain point, concepts like a theory of everything, the origins of the universe, or wormholes are all poetry anyway, which isn't to say that there's no truth there. Poetry is all about truth, but perhaps the kind of truth which is difficult to capture with a linear, proof oriented perspective." Magdalena Ball is an award winning poet, novelist and book reviewer—the well known editor of The Compulsive Reader, http://www.compulsivereader.com/html.

While the poetry is rich with the quantum and astronomical world, Quark Soup is no scientific treatise. The work is ostensibly about what it means to be a human, and tackles subjects like love, birth, death, and sensuality; uniting the domestic with the esoteric. The work has been described as "utterly accessible," "finely crafted," and "exciting," with an appeal for readers of all backgrounds.

Of Quark Soup, poet Carolyn Howard-Johnson says that "Magdalena Ball has a knack for placing the mysteries (to most of us) of quark and quantum smack dab into our personal spheres."
