Publisher's Synopsis
The poems in The Physics Tree are atypical and certainly not characteristic of today¿s contemporary poetry. Author M. Parise eloquently shatters the paradigm that art and science work at cross-purposes. Instead, these poems fittingly represent a stellar unification of physics and poetry.
A skillful Language poet, Parise uses words in unexpected and powerful ways, deftly creating allegories that reflect scientific phenomena and our human-emotional reaction to them. Parise¿s poetry is an ingenious communication of complex realities¿immediate, stylistically varied, and humbling. Cerebral, intense (and at times amusing), the work reveals the mind¿s encounter with a universe infinitely more complex than ever imagined.
The poems unveil one phenomenal mystery after another, as the author sets forth the beginning of a new task for poetry: to define our world, our universe, and explore physics as it relates to human consciousness. Read this book and brace yourself for a new era in literature.
