Description

Crystallography is the mineral science whose name means 'lucid writing'. Long out of print, but now available again in an elegant revised edition, this extraordinary work of avant-garde literature explores the boundary between science and poetry, suggesting that to write with clarity in either discipline involves the most intense thought, much like an act of 'lucid dreaming'. The book reveals that, within the sediment of everyday language, poems are the crystalline formations. -- from back cover.
