“Like a Metaphor”: contemporary art and science

We suggest to read the debate about the relation between contemporary poetry and science that has been published in the online poetry and poetics magazine Jacket2 under the title Like a Metaphor: Ongoing relations between “poetry” and “science”.

Contributions by  Rae Armantrout, Amy Catanzano, John Cayley, Tina Darragh, Marcella Durand, Allen Fisher, James Harvey, Peter Middleton, Evelyn Reilly, and Joan Retallack address how poetry can serve science no less than how science can serve poetry, as well as the degree of discursive integrity each should or can enjoy in the interplay.
