More about the book

Contemporary poetry serves as a medium of resistance against the authority of scientific knowledge, reflecting literary traditions and scientific developments. The author examines works by poets like Alison Hawthorne Deming and Pattiann Rogers, tracing influences from Romantic, Modernist, and Postmodernist movements. These poems challenge scientific discourse and can be interpreted as performative acts. By aligning poetry with the insights of science studies, the book suggests that understanding knowledge as intervention fosters a connection between the realms of poetry and science.
