Sci-Ku: Explorations into the Poetry of Science

by Jay Friedenberg

This book explores brave new worlds at the interface of science and poetry. It is divided into several sections corresponding to various topics including the mathematical, geologic, atmospheric, and astronomical sciences. The haiku and senryu span several years of scholarship and consist of published, unpublished, and award-winning poems. A variety of areas are addressed including plate tectonics and climate change, as well as more traditional poetic ideas like the moon, sun, and stars. A complete glossary of all scientific terms is included as well as a reference list.
