FAULT

In <i>Fault</i> Katharine Coles continues to explore her abiding interest in the intersections of science culture and history but the book is perhaps best described as an extended meditation on love. Ranging across time and continents Coles addresses such figures as Newton Kepler and Vesalius not only with intellectual rigor but also with a humor intimacy and buoyant optimism that render her subjects-the figures and the science-accessible within the capacious intellectual emotional and physical landscapes of the poems.
