Sands of Semeion Donivan Bessinger

In this sweeping fantasy in verse, spacefarers on patrol discover the rubble field of a fragmented planet, and on a large tumbling rock find the ruins of an ancient temple. Immediately they begin to explore, sensing mystery. From their plight, the poet builds an entertaining and often whimsical allegory that relates cosmic consciousness to structures of meaning: Soon, / we hope, the fragments regaining mass / will begin to recombine.
