- catalog abstract ""A Field Guide to the Heavens is punctuated with the designs of science, the wondering and rapt observations of the sky made at the eyepiece of a backyard telescope. In this collection, the mystical and the mundane are threaded together to bring us more than a guide to the heavens; Gaspar offers a guide to human experience. In poems that may juxtapose the presence of Mohammed, Buddha, Augustine, George Herbert, Emily Dickinson, or Blake with a family selling their belongings from an old pickup truck or June bugs beating at the poet's late-night windows, the magnitude of the fleeting human moment is weighed against themes as enduring as the stars."--Jacket.".
