...Clinton poet Josie Kearns... has released... a full length collection called The Theory of Everything... The Theory of Everything, released by Mayapple Press, pulls seven years of work together in 43 poems that are derived from Kearns's own interest in quantum physics and string theory.

This is hardly the physics we all grew up with, however.

I worked at the sawmill in Clinton but doubt I met her.
I thought this was a Bill Clinton poet announcing some new “There once was a man from Nantuckett” poems.
She’s not easy to forget (there’s a photo in the article).
She seems kinda out of place for Clinton. Not the sort you usually find in little farm communities.
There used to be a black kid that worked nights at McDonalds down there. I renamed him Tuvok because he looked like a black vulcan.
