From the Back Cover

Alison Hawthorne Deming brings to her first collection of verse the kinds of scrupulous observation and clear-eyed analysis that characterize scientific inquiry as well as a poet's eye for the telling moment. 'Science and Other Poems' establishes astonishing parallels between the mute, inexorable processes of the physical universe and the dark mysteries of the human heart.
