If poetry, as Rogers argues, hasn’t yet seized all the opportunities ('this expanded vision of our world') that science offers, then \u003ci\u003eFlickering\u003c\/i\u003e is 'A spark, a tiny sun flew into the night.'” —\u003ci\u003eNew York Journal of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“[\u003ci\u003eFlickering\u003c\/i\u003e] burnishes [Rogers'] reputation as a transcendental poet of science, with Emersonian grandiosity . . .
