Poetry has been called the mother tongue of the human race; philosophy the love of wisdom; and science the foundation of the modern age. Neil Sampson has combined all three into a literary masterpiece. Without a wasted word, Neil finds hidden truths in both the common experiences of life and forgotten stories from the past. Never preaching, but always probing, these short reflections on life, science, and reality won both first AND second place in Canada's New Brunswick province writing competition in BOTH 2020 and 2021. Read one and you'll understand why.
