Physics envy : American poetry and science in the Cold War and after
Peter Middleton (Author)
"In Physics Envy, Peter Middleton examines the influence of science, particularly physics, on American poetry since World War II. He focuses on such diverse poets as Charles Olson, Muriel Rukeyser, Amiri Baraka, Robert Duncan, George Oppen, and Rae Armantrout, among others, revealing how the methods and language of contemporary natural and social sciences--and even the discourse of the leading popular science magazine Scientific American--shaped their work."--From book jacket
