You won\u2019t regret it! It is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pw.org\/directory\/writers\/jessica_reed_0\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">dialogue<\/a>, in poetic form, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianawriters.org\/pages\/jessica-reed\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Lucretius<\/a>. You should also <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jreedscipoet\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">follow her on Twitter<\/a>. See also <a href=\"http:\/\/bhreview.org\/2017\/02\/01\/contributor-spotlight-jessica-reed\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the interview she did with the Bellingham Review<\/em><\/a>. For samples of her work (both of which appear in the book) you can check out the following online:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/northamericanreview.org\/open-space\/wake-world-arrived-jessica-reed\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">her poem \u201cWake: World, Arrived\u201d published (with commentary) in North American Review<\/em><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/indianahumanities.org\/atom-cathedral\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u201cAtom, Cathedral\u201d on the Indiana Humanities website<\/a>.<\/p>\nIt is hard to know what else to include in this blog post by way of additional links of related interest. You know that is my custom if you read my blog regularly. But as you are probably aware, but I had not reflected on fully until now, very few of the blogs and news sources that I subscribe to \u2013 and perhaps very few blogs and news sources period \u2013 are quite interdisciplinary enough to really fit here. Below I have some science and poetry related links that I think will be of related interest, but very little that genuinely spans the divide between science and art. Which just goes to show you how much need there is for exploration of those points of intersection and overlap!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"8q2ioIYxEe\"><a href=\"https:\/\/3quarksdaily.com\/3quarksdaily\/2019\/02\/darwins-sacred-song.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Darwin\u2019s Sacred Song<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cDarwin\u2019s Sacred Song\u201d \u2014 3 Quarks Daily\" src=\"https:\/\/3quarksdaily.com\/3quarksdaily\/2019\/02\/darwins-sacred-song.html\/embed#?secret=yebWJTjCrZ#?secret=8q2ioIYxEe\" data-secret=\"8q2ioIYxEe\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"i7PkvCfIzq\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tcbmcleish.wordpress.com\/2019\/02\/24\/the-poetry-and-music-of-science\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Poetry and Music of\u00a0Science<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cThe Poetry and Music of\u00a0Science\u201d \u2014 Faith and Wisdom in Science\" src=\"https:\/\/tcbmcleish.wordpress.com\/2019\/02\/24\/the-poetry-and-music-of-science\/embed\/#?secret=yA8KmYeiJf#?secret=i7PkvCfIzq\" data-secret=\"i7PkvCfIzq\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\nhttps:\/\/scienceandbelief.org\/2019\/06\/06\/thoughts-on-awe-at-pentecost-science-and-faith-have-more-in-common-than-you-think\/<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/tcpc.blogs.com\/musings\/2019\/05\/book-of-nature-book-of-scripture.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The books of nature and scripture from a progressive Christian perspective<\/a><\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/experimentaltheology.blogspot.com\/2019\/06\/the-purpose-of-knowledge.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Richard Beck writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>The knowledge we use to navigate and act in the world are mostly encoded in stories and images.<\/p>\nDay to day, the truth we require isn\u2019t found with the scientists.<\/p>\nE = mc2<\/sup>\u00a0won\u2019t tell you how to act in the world, but the Parable of the Good Samaritan will.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nhttp:\/\/eerdword.com\/2019\/06\/11\/now-hear-this-when-poets-pray-by-marilyn-mcentyre\/<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This week\u2019s ReligionProf Podcast features Jessica Reed, who is a colleague of mine at Butler University and a poet whose work explores the realm of science through poetry in ways that are fascinating and profoundly moving, illustrating the range of ways that we as human beings can engage with and explore knowledge of the natural […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":136,"featured_media":65136,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15465,85],"tags":[16107,6532,16119,9276,9279,10886],"class_list":["post-64590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcast","category-science","tag-jessica-reed","tag-liberal-education","tag-lucretius","tag-poems","tag-poetry","tag-science"],"yoast_head":"\n<title>ReligionProf Podcast with Jessica Reed<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This week's ReligionProf Podcast features Jessica Reed, who is a colleague of mine at Butler University and a poet whose work explores the realm of\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/religionprof\/2019\/06\/religionprof-podcast-with-jessica-reed.html\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ReligionProf Podcast with Jessica Reed\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"This week's ReligionProf Podcast features Jessica Reed, who is a colleague of mine at Butler University and a poet whose work explores the realm of\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/religionprof\/2019\/06\/religionprof-podcast-with-jessica-reed.html\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Religion Prof: The Blog of James F.
