Sky, Earth, Other presents a sequence of poems constrained, in various ways, by the Fibonacci sequence or by Fibonacci numbers.

With the precision of a poet and the meticulousness of a mathematician, Marian Christie has written, in Sky, Earth, Other, a memorable and moving book of formally innovative and visually appealing poems.

— Pedro Poitevin

Pattern in mathematics / pattern in poetry: for Marian Christie, this is a creative coalescence made empathetic and dynamic. Her knowing insights into mathematical sequencing urge her to appreciate this inherent elegance, and her creative impulse is to express the same with a poetic gracefulness. In this collection, that expression is of a world observed as beautiful in its natural patterns and intriguing formations, as well as continuity but inevitable changes. Complemented with photographs, illustration, varying shapes of poetic layout and other design features, Christie’s poetic pathways lead us to reflect on a world of recurring certainties in deep need of retaining this.
