Light has been studied since ancient times to contemporary quantum mechanics-we know that nothing travels faster. It is something we take for granted but once we begin to try and understand light, find it has many mysteries yet hidden. Prisms, Particles, and Refractions is a collection of free verse and formal poems aimed at capturing some of the aspects of light-light that our eyes detect and light also as metaphor. Most of the poems are serious but some have a pinch of humor found to help perspective. The seventy-three poems are divided into: Prelude, Prisms, Particles, Refractions, Epilogue.
