Writing Science Poetry
Writing Science Poetry Science and poetry poem is a kind scientist who makes poetic use of science as its subject. Written by scientists and nonscientists, science poets are avid readers and appreciators of science and science questions. "Science May be found in poetry anthologies, collections, and in magazines, science fiction, including some poetry, in other jouals and newspapers. Many science fiction magazines, such as online magazines such as Strange Horizons, often publish science fiction poetry, another form of poetry of science. Of course, the poetry of science fiction is a genre somewhat 'different. Online, there is the Science Center of poetry for those who are interested in science poetry, and for those interested in Science Fiction Poetry Science Fiction Poetry Association. In addition, the Science Fiction Poetry Handbook Ultimate Science Fiction Poetry Guide, all available online. Strange Horizons has published science fiction poems Joanne Merriam, Gary and Mike Lehmann Allen.As poetry of science, science and science fiction poets as poets May also publish collections of poems in almost every style format. Science or scientific poets, poets like the others, must know the art and craft of poetry and science or scientific poetry appears in all the poetic forms: free verse, blank verse, meter, rhyme, unrhymed, abstract and concrete, ballad, dramatic monologue, storytelling, opera, poetry, etc. All devices are in use also of the apostrophe for the game of words in alliteration euphemism and irony, in any poetic diction, figures of speech and rhythm, etc., the metaphysical poetry of science is possible. In his anthology, The World Treasury of Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics, edited by Timothy Ferris rightly includes a section entitled "The poetry of science." Ferris said in the introduction to this article, "Science (or" natural philosophy "of science that has evolved) has long provided poets with the raw materials, source of inspiration in praise of scientific ideas and others to react against them. "These big as Milton, Blake, Wordsworth, Goethe be praised or denounced" the science and / or a combination of both. This is continued in the twentieth century by poets such as Marianne Moore, TS Eliot, Robinson Jeffers, Robert Frost and Robert Hayden (for example, "Full Moon" - the brilliant challenger of rocket experts ") not to mention many lesser-known poets, but maintains a poetic response to scientific questions. According to Ferris, "This does not mean that scientists should seek to imitate the poets or poets who should tu proselytes of science .... But they need each other and the world needs both. "Included in his anthology with the best scientific prose / tests poets are Walt Whitman (" When I heard the astronomer Lea'd "), Gerard Manley Hopkins" ( "I am like a comet error .. .) Emily Dickinson ( "Arturo"), Robinson Jeffers ( "Star-shake"), Richard Ryan ( "Galaxy"), James Clerk Maxwell ( "Molecular Evolution"), John Updike ( " Cosmic Gall "), Diane Ackerman (" Space Shuttle ") and writing scientific others.Certainly writing poetry as science fiction, not should not be praised science, science, but the object, and there is often a greater relationship between poetry and science by poets and / or scientists admit. Creativity and romance can be both intellectual and mathematics. Both can be aesthetics and logic. Or both can be nonaesthetic and nonlogical, depending on the type of science and the nature of poetry takes poetry.Science subject to scientific and scientific symbols space of time to biology to chemistry to physics to the earth science astronomy / geology, environmental meteorology science in computer engineering and scientific techniques. Can also be by scientists themselves, Brahmagypta to Einstein, from Galileo to Annie Cannon. That speak of specific types of scientists, in general, as Goethe "true to the physical" in the anthology Ferris. (When the poets are also cited in this anthology.) Poetry science can use many forms or any other form of narrative lyrical sonnet of the dramatic monologue to highlight free verse to haiku Villanelle, poetry for children or adults or both, for the scientist for nonscientists, or both. John Frederick Nims wrote, for example, "The Anthem Center. "(" The Universe: We would like to understand. ") There are poems that rhyme, poems that are not the rhythm. There are "concrete poetry", as Annie Dillard's "The Planet of Winds", in which the poem as a planet, the "pole" to "pole", an inventive poetry. "Chaos Theory" is the very purpose of poetry, as in Wallace Stevens' The Connoisseur of Chaos. " And what about your science and / or scientific poetry? Think of all the techniques of poetry and all the techniques of science. What poet of view should I use? third person? the first person, a dramatic monologue? We spoke to a star, or the universe itself? we talk a sound wave or a micrometer? Can play the radio? What are the main themes, its rhythms? What figures of speech, metaphors, comparisons, metaphors, we can lea from science. What is your attitude towards science and scientific issues? Read. Review. Think. Proofread. Revise again. You have joined the trend of the atom, magnetism? of those galaxies, the speed of sound, the speed of light? The laws of Kepler? Do not you write the history of science? New science? Read all scientists is possible. Read all poems can.You you are a poet. You are a scientist. What you have to say about the astronomer, the comet of Arcturus, the star-Sirli, galaxies, the molecular evolution of the atomic architecture of the "Planck time" to allude to other titles.What say poetic poetry to science? What does the science to poetry? Susan Shaw is a freelance writer and author of web content. His articles and web content on-line.
