Flickering

Praise for Flickering:

“[G]rounded and evocative … it is clear that nature gives [Rogers] a great deal of joy.” —The Hudson Review

“Reading Flickering is to shift focus from the human to all the other life surrounding us, whether the unseen bones that structure our lives without notice or thanks until a poet like Rogers comes along … If poetry, as Rogers argues, hasn’t yet seized all the opportunities (‘this expanded vision of our world’) that science offers, then Flickering is ‘A spark, a tiny sun flew into the night.‘” —New York Journal of Books

“[Flickering] burnishes [Rogers’] reputation as a transcendental poet of science, with Emersonian grandiosity … Verses of dizzying scope succumb to the gravitational pull of breathtakingly precise lines … This is a poignant homage to scientific attention and mystery.” —Publishers Weekly
