Roxborough speaks the universal languages of physics and philosophy; "mad with randomness and Einstein," in that place where "everything whirls at the speed of light" yet ultimately brings one to experience compassion for everyone and everything."Donna Snyder, author, lawyer, editor, human rights advocate "sum uv th most romantik poetree evr writtn shakespeare elizabeth barrett browning n rumi wud love as i dew open heart sutra surgery deels with zanee prsuayuns n hot physical needs delite in passyun yerning n finding th marvels uv langwage n desires satiaysyun betrayl distans ing loss is it all random what role duz our doomd intensyunalitee play whats goin on can we know mantra 4 opn life love lerning unlerning book a great book a great reed"bill bissett, poet, painter, teacher, mystic "Stephen Roxborough sparks a connection between the physical and spiritual as he beckons the reader to make the leap back and forth.
