Said about the book:<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, time can do that \u2013 shatter and scatter-as consciousness becomes a prism. The narratives in Shattered Fossils<\/em> pay rapt attention to what mind and matter can do, their chain reactions across time and space.\u201d \u201cIn Shattered Fossils<\/em>, Sharon Lax has created a complex bricolage of music, visual art, poetry, and scientific knowledge to show readers that, even in our moments of grief, insecurity, secrecy, and pain, we are always connected to beauty, and to one another\u2026\u201d *To book your spot at OPEN MIC:<\/strong>
