{"product_id":"supergiants-9781998408146","title":"Supergiants","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor millennia humanity has looked upward and traced stories in the night sky, projecting our human wants and desires outward. In \u003cem\u003eSupergiants\u003c\/em\u003e, Kyle Flemmer turns his gaze in the other direction. What does our reach for the stars say about us? Working with the technical language of engineering and astrophysics, Flemmer reorients the reader within our galaxy. Families of asteroids expand to contain their physical attributes, the mythic stories of their names and the histories of real people. We see the course of lunar exploration through the fate of the flags planted on each mission. Nebulae, blue giants and black holes enfold us. Interspersed throughout are a series of found\/collage poems that visually reconfigure the elements of space exploration and our understanding of it. Through it all, Flemmer shows how we turn to the stars to make sense of ourselves and our place in the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFlemmer, Kyle:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eKyle Flemmer is a writer, publisher and digital media artist from Calgary in Treaty 7 territory.
