Dr. Amy Catanzano’s New Book Published at University of Michigan Press

We are happy to share that Professor Amy Catanzano’s new book, The Imaginary Present: Essays in Quantum Poetics, is now available! The book is published in the Poets on Poetry Series at the University of Michigan Press. Congratulations, Dr. Catanzano!

The Imaginary Present by award-winning poet and professor Amy Catanzano explores cutting-edge scientific fields such as particle physics and astrophysics, and branches of physics such as quantum theory and relativity, through a poetic vision equally loyal to the imagination and rationality. Drawing upon her groundbreaking research and artist residencies at major scientific research centers like CERN and the U.S. National Science Foundation’s NOIRLab, as well as talks and poetry readings at esteemed institutions, Catanzano invites enthusiasts of poetry and science to consider what can be achieved through greater collaboration between these fields.
