Publisher's Synopsis
"The Physics of Love is all about connection, the starstuff that intertwines mother and child, soul and stone, and the living and the dead-'all of us spinning against each other in the dark' and 'bumping into God' while we're at it. With surprising imagery and fearless spirituality, Kirchner blurs the border between heaven and earth, delighting us with its gorgeous heartaches and mysteries. A dazzling debut worthy of savoring again and again."-- Tania Runyan, author of What Will Soon Take Place: Poems and How to Write a Poem
***
"There is a seamless blend of images, metaphors and personal insights in many of the poems that reveal a poet with a unique and distinctive voice. The poems are well crafted, balanced, interesting, revealing, and relate-able. Some have humor, others embrace an accepted sadness (and a few offer a combination of both)."--Christopher J. Jarmick, author of Not Aloud
