Moreau, a lecturer in physics, will have a collection of her poems featured in her upcoming book, "Demise of Pangaea."
The universe around us has inspired thousands of years of creative output, from visual art to music to dance. In a recent talk to the Physics Department, Lecturer in Physics Claudine Moreau discussed poetry as a response to nature.
Her upcoming poetry book, “Demise of Pangaea,” is a collection of poems Moreau has been working on for several years. Much of her writing is inspired by astronomy, but several works come from other scientific disciplines, art, music, and motherhood. In honor of this upcoming release, the Historic Neighborhood Association is sponsoring Elon’s Primavera Poetry Contest that is open to all Elon students and featuring prizes up to $100 and a public reading of the winning works. Participants may submit up to three poems, up to 50 lines per poem, by the March 22 deadline. For more information, please contact Moreau at cmoreau@elon.edu.
Hosted weekly by the Department of Physics, Astro/Physics Tea promises engaging discussions, thought-provoking ideas and a delightful spread of refreshments. Open to all students, faculty, and staff, this gathering is the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow physics aficionados in a relaxed and informal setting. Meetings take place in the third-floor lounge of Innovation Hall at 3:20 p.m. on Wednesdays.
