In this unusual and exceptionally interesting work, James Thornton speaks as both a poet who has colonized science and a scientist who speaks a poetic tongue. - Edward O. Wilson
Poems about the universe: from the sub-atomic level to the cosmic, from bacteria to complex life and exoplanets.
The physicist Richard Feynman challenged poets to step aside from metaphor and capture the stark magnificence of the universe. Spurred to action, James Thornton opened himself to wonders and dived deep into the intricacies of science.
Let his poetry open your eyes.
Complete with an essay on Poetry and Science.
