Poets with new and recent books borrow the mapping technique of “data fusion” from scientists.

The Geographic Information Systems defines “data fusion” as “organizing, merging and linking disparate information elements” to represent reality. Albert Goldbarth, Jordan Stempleman, Heid Erdrich, and Kevin Young create 21st-century literature by using multiple streams of information. In their works, science overlaps imagination, and perhaps this is the newest trend.

( A poem written by George Pena , a member of Art Lab, and the translation of it):

Te căutam…

Te căutam ca orbul pe lumină,

ca păsările setoase-un fir de apă                                                                                   

şi mi se-aprindeau imagini pe retină,

şi-nnebuneam etapă cu etapă.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Te căutam nesăţios în absenţa obscură

când se prăbuşeau în mine reverii,

şi simţeam cum creşte-n suflet o arsură

asemeni zorilor sângerii.

Te căutam prin atâta timp present,

frumoasă amăgire necesară,

căci fără tine pămânul mi-e absent

în colţişorul acesta de ţară.  

-------

I was looking for ...

I was looking for the blind to light,

Seto birds a water line

and I-lit images on the retina,

and-crazy step by step.

I was looking insatiable in the absence of dark

when sagging in my reveries,

and felt as a burning in my soul grow-

like dawn whorls.

I was looking through long present,

beautiful deception needed

Earth, because without you I'm missing

in this little corner of the country.

I received this beautiful poem via e-mail. I don't know who wrote it.

White Dove

A place without a name, under a burnin' sky...
There's no milk and honey here, in the land of God.
Someone holds a sign, it says “We are human, too”...
and while the sun goes down... the world goes by !
White dove, fly with the wind...
Take our hope under your wings, for the world to know that ‘hope will not die’ where the children cry !
Waves big like a house... They're stranded on a piece of wood.
To leave it all behind... To start again...
but instead of a new life... all they find is a door that's closed,
and they keep lookin' for a place called ‘hope’ !
White dove fly with the wind...
Take our hope under your wings, for the world to know that ‘hope will not die’ where the children cry !
Can anyone tell me why the children of the world have to pay the price ?
And now you're telling me, you've seen it all before...
I know that's right... but still it breaks my heart !
Well, the golden lamb we've sent, makes us feel better now...
but you know it's just a drop in a sea of tears.
White dove fly with the wind...
Take our hope under your wings, for the world to know that ‘hope will not die where the children cry’ !

do we admit to big abandon

Does literature impact what scientists study?

How does art inspire science? It may seem a difficult question to answer with any empirical evidence, but in a new research project Scottish scientists aim to do just that.

Launched yesterday, What Scientists Read? will aim to find out what influence literature has on scientists and the decisions they make.

Asking questions like “how does reading literature affect scientific thought and practice?” and “does reading literature affect the career decision to become a scientist?”, the project team will conduct interviews with scientists in Scotland to try to unravel the influence on science of the creative arts.

Fear not, though. Even if you’re ruled out of the interviews due to geographical disadvantages you can still take part in the study. The project’s website hosts a forum where any scientist can go and add to the discussion.

The launch of the project is great timing. At the crossroads between science and art there has long been debate about how the arts feed back into scientific research - whether as a justification for the art or for the funding - but for ArtLab nothing is going to be as compelling as some cold, hard scientific fact.

2012 International Symposium on Poetry and Medicine

THElogoSaturday 12th May 2012
Symposium and Hippocrates Awards venue: Henry Wellcome Lecture Theatre,
Wellcome Collection, 183 Euston Road, London NW1 2B
2012 Hippocrates Awards for poetry and medicine
were announced at the 12 May Symposium in 2012

The Hippocrates initiative for poetry and medicine

The Hippocrates Prize for Poetry and Medicine is an annual international award for an unpublished poem on a medical subject.

The Hippocrates initiative was awarded the 2011 Times Higher Education Award for Excellence and Innovation in the Arts.

Since its launch in 2009, the Hippocrates Prize has attracted over 4000 entries from 44 countries, from the Americas to Fiji and Finland to Australasia.

With a 1st prize for the winning poem in each category of £5,000, the Hippocrates prize is one of the highest value poetry awards in the world for a single poem.

Awards are in an Open category, which anyone in the world may enter, and an NHS category, which is open to UK National Health Service employees, health students and those working in professional organisations involved in education and training of NHS students and staff.

The Hippocrates initiative also includes annual international symposia at which the Hippocrates awards are presented and an international research forum for poetry and medicine.

Science and poetry ... oil and water?

Not exactly. You will find this when you read Writing Poetry Through the Eyes of Science: A Teacher's Guide to Scientific Literacy and Poetic Response.

This crossover work demonstrates how scientific literacy, knowledge and methods can inform and inspire poetic response in the classroom and in the field. "Writing Poetry Through the Eyes of Science illustrates how students can utilize field research, observations, sensory data gathering, poetic writing strategies, and model science poems by poets, scientists, students, and teachers to produce skillful and creative science poetry.

"The authors explore the commonalities shared by the domains of science and poetry as well as the potentials for intersections and interactions across those two domains," the release continues. "As the science teacher raises scientific questions and suggests technical vocabulary to further language specificity and precision, the poetry teacher demonstrates multiple poetic stances enabling imaginative poetic responses."

The Tree of Life

David R. Maddison

Department of Zoology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331 USA; E-mail: david.maddison@science.oregonstate.edu

I think that I shall never see

A thing so awesome as the Tree

That links us all in paths of genes

Down into depths of time unseen;

Whose many branches spreading wide

House wondrous creatures of the tide,

Ocean deep and mountain tall,

Darkened cave and waterfall.

Among the branches we may find

Creatures there of every kind,

From microbe small to redwood vast,

From fungus slow to cheetah fast.

As glaciers move, strikes asteroid

A branch may vanish in the void:

At Permian's end and Tertiary's door,

The Tree was shaken to its core.

The leaves that fall are trapped in time

Beneath cold sheets of sand and lime;

But new leaves sprout as mountains rise,

Breathing life anew 'neath future skies.

On one branch the leaves burst forth:

A jointed limb of firework growth.

With inordinate fondness for splitting lines,

Armored beetles formed myriad kinds.

Wandering there among the leaves,

In awe of variants Time conceived,

We ponder the shape of branching fates,

And elusive origins of their traits.

Three billion years the Tree has grown

From replicators' first seed sown

To branches rich with progeny:

The wonder of phylogeny.

A poem by Walt Whitman:

WHEN I heard the learn'd astronomer;
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;
When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.

Whitman goes to the trouble of pointing out that the astronomer is "learn'd," and he makes of this a perjorative of sorts by his ultimate implication that one's intuitive and emotional comprehension of the cosmos is a more direct, profound, grasp of its truths than are the methodolies of science. He seems to be saying that science strips nature of any sense of transcendence, reducing it to no more than boring charts and diagrams.

Biased toward its non-linear embrace of the poetic, mysterious, oceanic sense of one's connection to the cosmos. Its stereotyping of science is naive and outdated -- and that any notion of "mystical" in the poem as meaning "supernatural," is wrong-headed as a modern interpretation.

As the interest in art/science grows and progresses, to parse these sorts of distinctions along the way -- to avoid the movement's possible decline into new-age sentimentalities, fodder for religion's apologists, and accusations of pseudo-scientific thinking.

The Poet Scientist: Where Wonder and Data Collide

Please fill in the blanks below to register for the meeting.

Meeting Description:

Art is celebrated for reviving the human spirit, but there is a legion of artists whose work also restores the landscape. - See more at: http://www.orionmagazine.org/index.php/mag/6768/#sthash.zUHNWh5T.dpuf
Edward Abbey wrote that "a landscape . . . can best be understood and given human significance by poets who have their feet planted in concrete—concrete data—and by scientists whose heads and hearts have not lost the capacity for wonder."

How can the voice and mind of the artist and the scientist be combined to form a better understanding of landscape? What is it like to traverse these different ways of knowing and experiencing a place? What are the inherent challenges and rewards?

In celebration of National Poetry Month and Earth Day, we invite you to join a free live discussion and reading hosted by Orion's poetry editor, Hannah Fries, featuring poet-scientists Gary Paul Nabhan, Elizabeth Bradfield, and Eva Saulitis, along with geologist Fred Swanson. The event will take place on April 23, at 4 p.m. Eastern/1 p.m. Pacific.

Orion has long celebrated interdisciplinary ways of knowing—including the idea that, combined, art and science can be a powerful catalyst for change. We hope you can join us for this unique discussion.

Discussion on science and poems

https://www.youtube.com/user/ParticleMen?feature=watch

Jon Sciezka's book, Science Verse? http://www.amazon.ca/Science-Verse-Jon-Scieszka/dp/0670910570 It might be a good teaching tool.

Also, there is a Centre for Poetry and Science at the University of Liverpool. http://www.liv.ac.uk/poetryandscience/ It might be a source of inspiration.

There are a number of arts and science festivals, such as FAST at MIT ( http://arts.mit.edu/fast/ ), See Further ( http://seefurtherfestival.org/ ) and Subtle Technologies ( http://subtletechnologies.wordpress.com/events/festival-2012/ ). There might be some inspiration on their websites, or maybe you could even go to one of them!

Mario De Paz • I enclose here my only poem in english. Maybe there are mistakes, but it is quite difficult compose rhymes in a language known uite approximately.
Discovery

Is the discovery a creative act
Exploding from a darting intuition
When put in front of a lifelike fact.

Difficult to be transformed into equation
To demonstrate as valid the averment
Spurted as flash with no explanation.

A logic pattern is a more unsure event
Because is asking conditions more strict
Free thought allowing to a much less extent.

With logics as recipes you can well depict
Any cognition you already know
Seldom new knowledge then you may predict.

La scoperta (original version in Italian language)

È la scoperta un atto creativo
Prodotto dal guizzar d’intuizione
Messa di fronte ad un problema vivo.

Si trasforma a fatica in equazione
Per dimostrare valido l’asserto
Visto in un lampo senza spiegazione.

Il ragionare logico è più incerto
Perché richiede condizioni strette
Che lascian poco ad uno spazio aperto.

Con la ragion puoi scrivere ricette
Per divulgare ciò che ti sia noto.
Di aprirsi al nuovo raramente ammette.

Kids' science poetry books tend to be focused on a theme, e.g. dinosaurs (Prelutsky), space (Florian), day in the life of a vulture (Sayre), what is science (Dotlich, Hopkins), deep ocean creatures (Cyrus), etc., with one poem per page or spread. Check out the Juvenile 811 section of your local library or ask the children's librarian for suggestions. Books made up of a single long poem (i.e. not a collection) are generally interfiled in the subject areas. And if you really want to stretch your mind, check out the Fleischman poems for four voices (Big Talk) or poems for two voices (Joyful Noise).

There was a time when most newspapers had a children's section, but that's a rarity these days. I've had luck selling science poems to children's magazines, though. Have a look at Highlights for Children and the Carus "bug" magazines (Cricket, Spider, Ladybug). Typically, a poem needs to take on a very narrow slice of science with a subject concrete enough to allow for illustration possibilities. For example, one of my HfC poems for 5-9 yr olds talks about how three different insect "mouths" work (straws, sponges, "jaws"), one verse each. Onomatopoeia, similes, and repetition are good choices, especially for the younger crowd.

The Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market book (Writer's Digest Books) lists which children's publishers publish poetry. It's mostly focused on U.S. publishers, but does contain an international section. Published annually. Most libraries carry it.
