Opis

Sublime Sublimation addresses topics of science, technology, emotions, and issues of the digital age through short poems. With a variety of styles, this collection of poetry conveys musings with a relatable maturity and introspection. Pertinent themes are modernization, conscious versus unconscious motivation, societal organization, and the laws of the natural world. Influences include Allen Ginsberg, William Carlos Williams, Ursula Le Guin, Sigmund Freud, and T.S. Eliot. Ferrante brings together knowledge from neuroscience, psychology, and English literature to offer her views of the contemporary world. Poems in this work, while often dealing with difficult human emotions, are nevertheless inspiring, for "it is not happiness but tragedy that unites humanity."
