Poetry in Symmetry: 3

From the bell-founders of the Kiso Valley to the sandpainters of the Himalayas, from a king who envies noon to a machine learning to say a human name - Poetry in Equilibrium gathers nine cycles of verse and fable, each carried home by a different keeper of time, teaching the same old lesson in nine different tongues: how to want less, love harder, and let go clean.In Part I, the wandering scholar-poet of the Orloj Series carries his notebook through Tokyo, Shanghai, Jaipur, Dubai, Jerusalem, Toledo, Sydney, the Himalayas, and Munich, collecting the parables that outlive empires. In Part II, the compendium turns forward - into the Rebel Hackers Saga and The Silent Tenant - where the same questions of restraint, consent, and what one mind owes another are put to a new kind of listener: a machine, learning for the first time to knock before entering."Not because the clock is wrong, but because it is alive - and the living are not kept by rule. They are kept by love."Sixty-five poems, fables, and dialogues. Nine cities. Two futures - one already written, one still being asked.
