physics speaks in maths,

with a philosopher's tongue

and a poet's heart.

Songs of Giants: The Poetry of Pulp, by Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and H.P. Lovecraft, illustrated by Mark Wheatley, introduction by Jack McDevitt, Insight Studios, 2019. Cover art by Mark Wheatley, info: songsofgiants.com.

Songs of Giants is a collection of some of the very best poetry written by three giants of pulp literature; Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs and H.P. Lovecraft. Each of these authors is known for the incredible range of their visual imaginations. Worlds and characters came to colorful life in every one of their stories and poems, lingering in the wild imaginations of illustrators and readers alike. There is a long tradition of lovely illustrated books. Often these books are largely text with just a smattering of beautiful illustrations. Songs of Giants goes beyond that and is a feast for the eyes, with illustrations covering every page and featuring artfully placed text.

this is our wave functions interacting

this is our wave functions becoming intertwined forever into the infinity of history
