Poe and 19th Century Science
"Readers of Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous prose and poetry might be unaware of how often he wrote about science....in the late 1840s, near the end of his life, Poe had established for himself 'a unique position as fiction writer, poet, critic, and expert on scientific matters.'"

What Sparks Poetry:
Brian Teare on Taylor Johnson's Inheritance
"Restless, improvisatory, Johnson favors no single subject matter or mode. They are a poet of theory and memory, of essay and anecdote, of ode and aubade, of self-portraiture and landscape, of deconstruction and sex. Their poems are rangy in form–prose, erasure, projective, epistolary, ekphrastic, even a pantoum and a sonnet–and equally rangy in scene and setting." |
