The two great perceptual revolutions of the fifteenth and twentieth centuries were inaugurated by Columbus and Modern Physics respectively. In her novelistic reflections on these eras of change in consciousness, and the persons and circumstances which brought them about, this acclaimed poet/novelist's brilliant narrative passes through stream of consciousness, first-person narration, and poetry, in a unique meditation on love and politics, conquest and tolerance, and the effects of change.
