Galápagos Joy by Paul Stroble
$15.99
Calling on the wisdom of such wise souls from Darwin to Tennyson, Shakespeare to Dickinson, Mendel to tortoises, Paul Stroble again works his poetic magic. These poems take us on a trip to the Galápagos Islands that is once deeply spiritual while anchored the natural world. Stroble finds drama, humor, and love in everything from tee shirts that read I LOVE BOOBIES to the wonderful impertinence of iguanas and scientists—and the rest of us—who cannot contain our fascination with them. These superb poems show how philosophy, science, and a clear, theological eye can make wonderful literary art.
–Tom Dukes, Professor emeritus, University of Akron
Paul Stroble has authored a terrific piece of expository writing, with a stunning sense of the history of science. I love Paul’s image of science and religion as a Rubik’s cube, which is my understanding, too. His book is a gift to me!
–Chuck Barnes, Professor Emeritus of Geology, Northern Arizona University
