Origins: The Cosmos in Verse

by Joseph Conlon

  

€ 14.99 

ISBN: 9780861549115

There raged a thumping cosmic ballyhoo,



A manic dance - a rumpus to arouse



The universe: of Higgs and W,



Electrons, gluons, muons, Zs and taus...



For centuries poetry and science have been improbable, yet constant, bedfellows. Chaucer was an amateur astronomer; Milton broke bread with Galileo; and, before turning to the arts, Keats was a doctor. Meanwhile, scientific luminaries like Ada Lovelace and James Clerk Maxwell moonlighted as poets, composing verse between experiments and equations.



Following in this tradition, theoretical physicist Joseph Conlon spins a dazzling intergalactic epic. Drawing on his scientific expertise, Conlon reveals the origins of our universe through two long-form poems - 'Elements' and 'Galaxies'. Journeying from the Big Bang to the edges of our ever-expanding cosmos, Origins offers a delightful and revelatory adventure through contemporary physics.
