Retrats is a book that contains two poetic-dramatic works with annotations. The first is the long monologue of a mother and her solitude while waiting for the return of her architect son. The second is a choral song of the women of the 20th century in a timeless descent into hell in search of Orpheus, present in an environment that is both bucolic and peripheral and industrial.
Penelope King uses geochemistry and cosmochemistry to study planetary processes to better understand past and future planetary environments, and what this information may tells us about climate change. She is a professor at the Australian National University (ANU) in the Research School of Earth Sciences (RSES). King holds many awards, including Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the Mineralogical Society of America in 2019, and winning the AGU Joanne Simpson Medal for Mid-Career Scientists the same year. She currently leads a research group examining surface and interior processes on planetary bodies.
