Triangularity: Essays on Poetry, Science, and Spirit

Autor Alice Major
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 aug 2026
In a world defined by silos and specialization, Alice Major’s Triangularity is a profound and timely mingling of big ideas about how things fit together. Religion and science are often considered separate, even antagonistic, ways of thinking about existence, but in these essays and interspersed poems, an experienced poet explores her own life and craft to find connecting lines that join them. Based on her lifelong curiosity about faith and science, Major suggests a geometry where poetry is a hypotenuse stretched between these subjects—a geometry in which we can think about topics like “belief” or “creation” from different angles and see the shared space they enclose. Major asks how this interplay of disciplines can help illuminate day-to-day lives and the very act of making art. Triangularity is for anyone yearning to reconnect with our shared human needs: peace, beauty, justice, equality, good community, a quiet soul, and personal truth.

Recenzii

“Alice Major looks to ‘decide what is true’ in an increasingly complicated world. Her ways of understanding where good is, where hope lies, and how to build a hopeful creative community welcome the reader into the text. The author uses her own uncertainty as a way forward, a comforting thought when certainty seems in short supply." Tanis MacDonald, author of Straggle: Adventures in Walking While Female
“Alice Major is a wonderfully inquisitive poet. In these lively essays on science, religion, and poetry, her curiosity and delight in surprise help readers ‘make sense of the world.’ Triangularity is a welcome addition to an astonishing body of work.” Nicholas Bradley, University of Victoria
