Book excerpt: "Darwin's Microscope responds to the life and influence of Charles Darwin, and is a poet's celebration of the great biologist's achievement. Kelley Swain uses the microscopic 'lens' as a metaphor for viewing the world with secular wonder, revealing the greater meaning discovered from looking deeper - even to the cellular level. Contemplating the natural world, this young poet brings the Darwinian point of view into everyday life. Darwin's microscope brilliantly shows how science and poetry can complement and enlighten each other, to the point where they become nearly inseparable." --Book Jacket.
