Description
Scientists and researchers are among our age's greatest explorers. Inspired by cutting-edge research and groundbreaking discoveries, poet Katrina Porteous translates complex scientific concepts into accessible poetry. Edge explores the nature of physical reality, taking readers on a journey from the quantum world to our local star and beyond. The book features three poem sequences - Field, Sun, and the title sequence - which extend Porteous' previous work on nature, place, and time. These poems delve into the universe's underlying workings, the potential for life elsewhere in the solar system, and the development of complex consciousness on Earth. Commissioned for performance at the Life Science Centre Planetarium, Newcastle, these pieces showcase the beauty and poetry of scientific inquiry. Edge is Katrina Porteous' third poetry book from Bloodaxe Books Limited, following The Lost Music (1996) and Two Countries (2014).
