A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Darwin's Microscope reflects the life and influence of Charles Darwin. Swain uses the microscopic lens as a metaphor for viewing the world with secular wonder, revealing greater meaning in looking deeper even to the cellular level. Contemplating the natural world, this new poet brings the Darwinian point of view into everyday life. Darwin's Microscope brilliantly shows how science and poetry complement and enlighten each other, to the point where they become nearly inseparable.

Biographie de l'auteur

Kelley Swain, who grew up in New England and now lives in London, has always followed the dual paths of science and literature. After graduating in 2007 with a degree in English, she completed a graduate programme in Maritime Studies at the Mystic Seaport in Connecticut. Darwin's Microscope is her first collection and its publication coincides with the bicentenary of Darwin s birth in 1809 and the 150th anniversary of his magnum opus, On the Origin of Species (1859).
