A poetic language to describe the universe

Browsing around, I've just come across an interesting article in Interactions, the Journal of the Institute of Physics. Trust me! It's on page 8.

You are always an electron away from a proper snog

Just listened to Gwyneth Lewis's Stardust for the second time. Entrancing.

I'd be interested to know how people with no background in fundamental particles found it, but from the writer's viewpoint I loved the interweaving of the narrative and the play itself. Maybe there is a technical term for that - question for Briony next time!

Half way through the second hearing, I realised that it is a similar technique to that Dylan Thomas used in Under Milk Wood. But sorry, Dylan, I preferred Gwyneth's!

Shell

Inside
I can reside
Quiet
Me
Effervescent yet free
Let others
In
Barriers slip
Wash away
Like sea

This came to me as i was in a Cafe having a cup of tea after the class. Arose from the shell stimulus yesterday. Perhaps what i may have written if i had been unhindered by associations of polished shells!
