Renaissance Research, Registered 21st Century Rebirth Report

Research poetry or scientific poetry is really a specialized lyrical genre that makes use of research as their subject. Published by researchers and nonscientists, research poets are generally enthusiastic viewers and appreciators of science and "research matters." Science poetry may be present in anthologies, in collections, in technology fiction publications that often include poetry, in different publications and journals. Many research fiction publications, including on the web publications, such as Odd Horizons, frequently submit research fiction poetry, still another kind of technology poetry. Obviously technology fiction poetry is a somewhat various genre. On line there's the Technology Poetry Center for those thinking about research poetry, and for those interested in science fiction poetry The Science Fiction Poetry Association. Furthermore, there is Technology Fiction Poetry Handbook and Final Research Fiction Poetry Manual, all found online. Weird Horizons has printed the science fiction poetry of Joanne Merriam, Gary Lehmann and Henry Allen.

In terms of research poetry, technology or scientific poets like research fiction poets might also submit choices of poetry in nearly every stylistic format. Technology or medical poets, like other poets, have to know the "artwork and art" of poetry, and research or medical poetry appears in all of the lyrical forms: free passage, empty passage, metrical, rhymed, unrhymed, abstract and cement, ballad, extraordinary monologue, story, musical, etc. All of the poetic units come in use also, from alliteration to apostrophe to pun to paradox and understatement, to every graceful diction, figures of speech and flow, etc.ligandrol Actually metaphysical scientific poetry is possible. In his anthology, The World Treasury of Science, Astronomy, and Arithmetic, editor Timothy Ferris appropriately includes a section named "The Poetry of Science." Claims Ferris in the introduction to this area, "Technology (or the'natural philosophy'where research evolved) has long presented poets with natural product, uplifting some to reward scientific ideas and the others to respond against them."

Such greats as Milton, Blake, Wordsworth, Goethe sometimes acknowledged or "excoriated" science and/or a variety of both. That extended into the twentieth century with such poets as Marianne Moore, T. S. Eliot, Robinson Jeffers, Robert Frost and Robert Hayden (e.g. "Whole Moon"--"the amazing challenger of bomb authorities") as well as most of the reduced identified poets, who none the less keep a graceful reaction to scientific matters. Claims Ferris, "That is not saying that scientists must attempt to imitate poets, or that poets must turn proselytes for science....But they need one another, and the world needs both." Contained in his anthology along with the most useful clinical prose/essays are the poets Wally Whitman ("When I Noticed the Learn'd Astronomer"), Gerard Manley Hopkins "("I'm Just like a Slide of Comet..."), Emily Dickinson ("Arcturus"), Robinson Jeffers ("Star-Swirls"), Richard Ryan ("Universe"), John Clerk Maxwell ("Molecular Progress"), John Updike ("Cosmic Gall"), Diane Ackerman ("Room Taxi") and others.

Undoubtedly those writing clinical poetry like those writing science fiction need not reward most of technology, but technology nonetheless the niche subject, and there's frequently a larger connection between poetry and science than both poets and/or scientists admit. Imagination and relationship can be in equally, as can the intellectual and the mathematical. Both could be cosmetic and logical. Or equally may be nonaesthetic and nonlogical, with respect to the form of research and the sort of poetry.
