Loved it! I'd almost forgotten this author, and I'm so glad I saw this on the bookshelf at the store.

The merging of poetry and science is one of my favorite things, and Kimiko Hahn does that in a multitude of interesting ways.

I adore the concept of this collection and I feel that Hahn draws from scientific texts exceptionally rich with poetry. I feel, however, that the way in which she taps into this poetry falls short of the possible beauty in the merging of hard science with art. Most of my favorite parts of this book were the quotations Hahn chose from existant works, and while it is wonderful to gain exposure to these quotations, my underwhelmedness at the poetry she created using them disappointed me.
