“Theory of Sand” was written after a visit to Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado, and it includes italicized text from Adam Hadhazy’s BBC article “What are the limits of human vision?" This is one of several "Theory of..." poems in my collection "THINE," which borrow their titling scheme from Muriel Rukeyser's 1935 collection, "Theory of Flight."

"Self-Portrait in the Zone of Silence"
"Blessed with a direct line to his seemingly tireless, oneiric muse, who keeps one eye open on the waking world and one on the dream world, Aridjis’ work casts a beguiling spell on his reader using language, imagery, and subject matter that blurs the line between dreaming and waking."
