because it is nearly visible to the naked eye and is a close model of the solar system.  At 2.7 million years distant, it is by no means an easy cluster to explore and remains largely mysterious to us today.</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Though its title derives from a line in the last poem, </B></I><I><B>Rushing to Andromeda</B></I><I><B> seems a fitting title for this collection, because it represents the trajectory of a woman's life and aspects of the intuitive feminine, distant yet instructive.</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <I><B>For me these poems are a small window on the human soul
