Books by Tantra Bensko
"The analysis revealed objects, shaped like Frisbees or flying carpets, with two spatial dimensions: membranes . . . . The mathematics made clear that all of these entities could vibrate and wiggle, much like strings. . . . For the multiverse story, it is the branes that are central. Using them, researchers have been led by the hand to another variety of parallel universes. . . . In the braneworld scenario, our universe is just one of many that populate the Brane Universe."

"I think your stories are very important. They connect me, as one reader, to deeper places, to the wide open unseeing timeless eyes of whales drifting through eternity to the sweet wrinkled softness of my mother's beloved face to ancient loved memories of my father, a sort of book of magical fables that ties me through time and space to dear things and to what is unknowable but can be through the power of imagination and faith that everything is alive in its way; we just have to hear you do and then you write about it."

Next Experimental Fiction Writing Class coming up soon May 30
Want to improve your literary fiction but not interested in formulas and conventions? The class is 10 weeks, 400 dollars, an intimate group of students giving each other lots of feedback and inspiration, as you question default assumptions about plot arc and more, looking at Italo Calvino's work a bit, teach your hands to start off writing when you ask them to, play with exercises, and prepare for publication. Read about it.
