In "Space Struck," Paige Lewis presents a debut collection that dances on the edge of the cosmic and the intimate, weaving a tapestry where the fabric of the universe touches and transforms the human experience. With a voice that is at once tender and audacious, Lewis escorts us through a gallery of wonders and horrors, where the marvels of nature, the enigmas of science, and the mysteries of faith converge. This collection is a fearless exploration of the world’s beauty and brutality, seen through the prism of the natural and the celestial, making us question our place among the stars and the soil. Lewis crafts each poem as a vessel of discovery, inviting readers on a journey that spans the vast expanse of space to the innermost parts of the human heart. The pages pulse with life, populated by creatures and constellations that serve as mirrors to our own existence, reflecting the myriad ways we are connected to the universe around us. With humor that cuts through the darkness and a keen eye for the absurd, "Space Struck" achieves a rare balance, capturing the fragile, fleeting moments of our lives and elevating them into something eternal, a reminder of the awe and terror of being alive in a world that is both beautiful and savage.
