Published in 1994, "Crystallography" was a gem of a book, an
instant hit that was nominated for the Gerald Lampert Award. It has
been unavailable for an ice age, and Coach House Books is proud to
bring it back.
'Crystallography' means the study of crystals, but also, taken
literally, 'lucid writing.' The book exists in the intersection of
poetry and science, exploring the relationship between language and
crystals - looking at language as a crystal, a space in which the
chaos of individual parts align to expose a perfect formation of
structure. As Bok himself says, 'a word is a bit of crystal in
formation, ' suggesting there is a space in which words, like
crystals, can resonate pure form.
Lucid, sparkling, a diamond of a book: "Crystallography" is a
crystal-clear approach to the science of poetry from the author of
"Eunoia."
