In \u003ci\u003eBrain Fever\u003c\/i\u003e, Hahn integrates the recent findings of science, ancient Japanese aesthetics, and observations from her life as a woman, wife, mother, daughter, and artist.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRooted in meditations on contemporary neuroscience, \u003ci\u003eBrain Fever\u003c\/i\u003e takes as its subject the mysteries of the human mind—the nature of dreams and memories, the possibly illusory nature of linear time, the complexity of conveying love to a child. In one poem, \"A Bowl of Spaghetti,\" she cites a comparison that researchers draw between unraveling \"the millions of miles of wires in the [human] brain\" and \"untangling a bowl of spaghetti,\" and thus she untangles a memory of her own: \"I have an old photo: Rei in her high chair intently \/ picking out each strand to mash in her mouth. \/\/ Was she two? Was that sailor dress from mother? \/ Did I cook that sauce from scratch? If so, there was a carrot in the pot.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEqually inspired by Sei Shonagon's tenth-century \u003ci\u003ePillow Book\u003c\/i\u003e and the latest findings of cognitive research, \u003ci\u003eBrain Fever\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrilling blend of the timely and the timeless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKimiko Hahn\u003c\/b\u003e, the poet laureate of New York, has written more than ten poetry collections.
