Developing a reading of modernist poetics centred on the three-way
relationship between literature, modern physics and avant-garde art
movements, this book focuses on four key poets - William Carlos
Williams, Mina Loy, the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven and
Wallace Stevens - whose lives crossed paths in 20th-century New
York. This book explores how modernist art movements have shaped
these writers' thinking about physics in relation to their work,
demonstrating how science's new ideas about measurement and how to
visualize material reality provoked innovative poetic forms and
images. From Einstein's visit to New York City in 1921 to the
impact of the atomic bomb, the author traces the flow of ideas
about physics through culture, linking the new physics with modern
approaches to art found in Cubism, Futurism, Dada and Surrealism.
