geology poetry

This week Sarah Zielinski, a fellow science writer who writes this blog, is fact-checking a story of mine over at Smithsonian. To do this properly, she felt she had to go to the Library of Congress and look up a particular book of poems about geology. (This will make more sense when the story comes out.) She picked out some of the most cringe-inducing couplets and made a poll, so you can vote on the worst. Enjoy!

About Helen Fields

I'm a freelance writer living in Washington, D.C. I like to knit,sing, dance, and write about science. Only one of these pays the bills. A few years ago I spent six weeks on an icebreaker in the Bering Sea and two months in Berlin on a journalism fellowship, and who knows - I could find some more adventures sometime.
