"In this new anthology, an array of objects from the history of science and medicine serve as points of navigation for the seven contributors, who have worked with leading poet Don Paterson to refine and develop the poems collected here. The objects, originally found in the Whipple Museum, Cambridge and Wellcome Collection, London, include horses' teeth, a clockwork orrery depicting the universe, fragile handmade glass fungi, and the prism used by Newton in his 'Crucial Experiment'"--inside cover.
