Love Scientifically [1]

Poetry [2]
7.24.18

What can science tell us about love? Make your own discoveries by writing a love poem inspired by a scientific concept or phenomenon. For inspiration, consider Henri Cole’s “Gravity and Center [3],” Ruth Madievsky’s “Electrons [4],” or Sara Eliza Johnson’s “Combustion [5].” Name your poem after a scientific phrase you find by looking through a science textbook, website, or article. Search for material that casts unexpected light upon your love poem.
