Dung Beetles Navigate by Starlight

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Sarah Watkinson

These poems explore the boundary between science and poetry, and juxtapose the lexicon of organic chemistry, in particular, with a botanical discourse which is more conventional in poetry, but which the scientific treatment defamiliarises. Far from being abstruse and heavy, the treatment here lightens the subject with an imaginative playfulness. See more
