Linda Beirds came to Champaign-Urbana today to share her lovely poetry, First Hand. It's a book of verse about science. Contrary to popular opinion, poetry and science are not mutually exclusive. Beirds gives us the poetry in science and of course, the science of poetry.

Many of the poems are persona poems. The ones I love most are the ones about scientists at play. Isaac Newton as a boy, etc. This morning, she did an interview on the local NPR affiliate. Click here to listen.(scroll down to wednesday) And click here to buy this gorgeous book.
