SCIENCE AND by Diane Furtney is a moving, insightful, funny and exuberant collection of poems; sometimes the reader feels like an assistant at bold experiments in a wildly colored lab. Unusual discoveries in nine sciences turn into deeply imagined metaphors and tropes in five sections: Science and Family, Science and Romance, Science and the Homo Sapiens Young, Science and Irritation, Science and the Surround. A dramatic nonmetrical couplet form presses the data into trenchant narrative lyrics of love, loss, and growth, as well as a couple of cautionary parables. The poems arrive convincingly at Epicurean goals for living and the steady conviction of being at home in the universe. This is a breakthrough of fresh thinking about the flexibility of poetry and the excitement of living amidst non-received ideas. Only a general familiarity with empirical science is needed.
