Poetry and science, as Popova writes in her introduction, "are instruments for knowing the world more intimately and loving it more deeply." In 15 short essays on subjects ranging from the mystery of dark matter and the infinity of pi to the resilience of trees and the intelligence of octopuses, Popova tells the stories of scientific searching and discovery. These stories are interwoven with details from the very real and human lives of scientists—many of them women, many underrecognized—and poets inspired by the same questions and the beauty they reveal.

Aquiles, el más veloz de los hombres, se ha retirado de la contienda tras un disgusto con el rey Agamenón. Este es el inicio de uno de los episodios más conocidos de la Guerra de Troya, en el que la ira de Aquiles tendrá consecuencias terribles para ambos bandos durante los 51 días que duran estos cantos, mientras que los dioses conspiran y luchan a la par de sus favoritos. Este gran poema épico atribuido a Homero es el inicio de la literatura universal, cuyos personajes y eventos se han vuelto arquetipos esenciales en nuestra cultura.

Poetry, like religion, is the practice of wonder—a way of being open, a way of reaching out to touch the hem of the world’s garment. Like the great spiritual teachers, poetry invites us to be radically present, to inhabit the world a little more closely, to attend a little more lovingly, with an awareness beyond the mere mind. The numinous shines right before our eyes, nonchalantly hidden, poorly disguised. God lurks in the shadowy places.

Twenty-five years ago, after her maternal grandmother’s death, Robin Coste Lewis discovered a stunning collection of photographs in an old suitcase under her bed, filled with everything from sepia tintypes to Technicolor Polaroids.

But these photographs of daily twentieth-century Black life revealed a concealed, interior history.

La superioridad del poema sobre los demás géneros consiste en que el poema vuela. Vuela, si es que tiene alas. Dejo volar estos poemas. Llegarán hasta donde puedan llegar.

El libro conserva la forma original como referencia histórica, pero el texto estará a la orden del día. Se transformará en canción o representación, o pasará en cualquier otra forma a integrarse como fragmento en la vida de quien llegue a su encuentro.

بين روح تمردت على جسدها، ومزقت رداء الخضوع والتسليم، وانطلقت محلقة في فضاءاتها المكتنزة بالسر الأزلي لتقتات النور، وبين نفس استسلمت لغواية الطين ونزق التراب، سطرت كلمات هذا الكتاب، التي قد تبدو للوهلة الأولى حكايات وصورا لتجارب عابرة ومواقف عفوية، لكنها ليست كذلك، فهي إما قطرات من نزف الذاكرة وبعض أمنيات ورجاءات تنتظر منكسرة على أعتاب القدر العادل، وإما آمال وآلام شذت عن المكنون، فانتهكت المستور، وما أكثر ما تفعل ذلك! لقارئي العزيز أن يحلق كيفما شاء، أو يذعن لوساوس نفسه إن شاء، ففي كلتا الحالتين سيرى ذاته هنا أو هناك، وسيعيش التناقض المحتوم. المؤلفة
