Poetry and Science

Ruth Padel discusses the relationship between science and poetry in this thoughtful essay from The Guardian, UK. "Scientists and poets focus on details. Poetry is the opposite of woolly or vague. Vague poetry is bad poetry – which, as Coleridge said, is not poetry at all. Woolly science is not science." http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/dec/09/ruth-padel-science-poetry
