In Physics for Beginners, John Harn seems to bend the natural world to his will, upending what we know to give us something fresh. His poems inhabit loss and though they are often steeped in the indifference of geologic time and weary religious notions, they are tempered by humor and ‘fragile beauty.’ This is an exceptional first book.
JOHN HARN was born in Dayton, Ohio, grew up near Detroit and attended Michigan State University. After graduating with a BA in Education, he spent a year in Galveston, Texas, working at the Community Arts Center on the Strand. In 1978, he joined the MFA Poetry program at the University of Oregon in Eugene where he was an advisee of Ralph Salisbury. He taught introductory poetry writing there for two years and for one year at the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem.

Review
“In Physics for Beginners, John Harn seems to bend the natural world to his will, upending what we know to give us something fresh. His poems inhabit loss and though they are often steeped in the indifference of geologic time and weary religious notions, they are tempered by humor and ‘fragile beauty.’ This is an exceptional first book.”
—Rodger Moody, Author of History,
Editor of Silverfish Review Press
“I love these poems. They spark with physicality and tug at us, playfully or painfully, inviting us to make contact with what we don’t understand. Fresh with heart-stopping images and fine terse lines, they carry a love of origins and infinities. Physics for Beginners shows us, reminds us, that, “It starts by seeing / everything drift / toward the same vanishing vanishing point.”
—Carol Durak, Author of Enter Here
“In Physics for Beginners, the edges of time dissolve. Harn’s poems, through crisp language and startling imagery, without sentimentality, reimagine the history of the universe and the meaning of ancestry. These brave poems do not sugar coat our impermanence and are not afraid to admit, “Even this ink, you know/is just air. /Less, probably”.
—Cindy Veach, Author of Gloved Against Blood
“These poems move with the precision and elegance of a formula. Strongly imagistic, the poems offer a mix of real and surreal, and walk the reader along the path that physics explores: matter, time, space. The poet’s passion for the past and the future, Eastern and Western thought, science and pure imagination move the reader from “lotus to lotus”, “fertilizing everything.”
—Brad Maxfield, Author of For All We Know
“Physics for Beginners has a gift for irony and a persuasive wry tone. The poems are as much about metaphysics as physics. We find explorations of “the four corners of uncertainty,” “the exact geographic center of an irreducible flux,” and an end that Harn greets with characteristic aplomb: “Hello jubilee, hello extinction. We come in peace.”
—Michael Malan, Author of Overland Park,
Editor of Cloudbank Books

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
