Certainties (Second Edition)

_138x210.jpg "Poetry eBooks - Certainties (Second Edition) by Robert Weston")
Collected poems from 1966 - 2006.
"...I have called this collection 'Certainties' and on the first page I quote Werner Heisenberg's attempt to articulate the fundamental paradox of quantum 'uncertainty': that knowledge of location (position) and momentum (direction) are mutually exclusive, at least at the quantum level.
"I have appropriated this concept to my own experience: If I know where I am, I can never be certain where I am going. And the corollary: If I know where I am going, I cannot be certain where I am. My poems are exceptions. They are 'certainties' because they are fixed moments of experience or reflection, identified in words that provide both locale and direction, at least in hindsight."
