About the book:

In a world defined by silos and specialization, Alice Major’s Triangularity is a profound and timely mingling of big ideas about how things fit together. Religion and science are often considered separate, even antagonistic, ways of thinking about existence, but in these essays and interspersed poems, an experienced poet exploring her own life and craft finds connecting lines to join them.

Using her lifelong curiosity about faith and science, Major suggests a geometry where poetry is a hypotenuse stretched between them—a geometry in which which we can think about topics like “belief” or “creation” from different angles and see the shared space they enclose. Major asks how this interplay of disciplines can help illuminate day-to-day lives and the very act of making art. Triangularity is for anyone yearning to reconnect with our shared human needs: peace, beauty, justice, equality, good community, a quiet soul, and personal truth.
