The Making

Arts & Literature

“With The Making, Brian Day sets himself a daunting task—to tell the story of the universe in one long poem. Astonishingly enough, he succeeds thanks to dazzling language that’s both fierce and precise and an exhilarating vision that brings together Snow White and the Buddha, angels and electrons, dinosaurs and Muhammad to tell the one story, all the stories, our story. Day’s teeming imagination opens our hearts as well as our minds to the interdependent wonders of our multifarious universe.”
