Excellent- More about The Vast Extent: On Seeing and Not Seeing Further
The Vast Extent is a collection of essays by Celia Paul that explore art, science, and travel, combining art, myth, scientific scrutiny, and a poet's response to cast light on each other. It ranges across topics such as caves, seasickness, early photography, boredom, wonder, mountains, mice, the body, and its shadow, and invites readers to travel such questions as how we might describe what we have never seen before or what helps us to see more clearly.

Publisher: Faber & Faber
An expansive, wonder-filled collection exploring art, science, and travel, The Vast Extent is a constellation of exploded essays about light and image, seeing and the unseen. From the celebrated poet, novelist, and memoirist, Celia Paul, The Vast Extent is a testament to how thought builds and ideas emerge, aligning art, myth, strange voyages, scientific scrutiny, and a poet's response so that they cast light upon each other. Ranging across caves, seasickness, early photography, boredom, wonder, mountains, mice, the body, and its shadow, from the Arctic at midwinter to a shingle spit in Norfolk at midsummer, Lavinia Greenlaw invites us to travel such questions as how we might describe what we have never seen before, what helps us to see more clearly, or persuades us to see what's not there. Art, science, technology, vision, and memory inform one another in this original and illuminating work.
