Dear Professor, Do you live in a vacuum?

by Stephanie Chasteen on August 8, 2010

A while back I wrote about Nin Andrews wonderful little book “Dear Professor, Do You Live in a Vacuum?”  This collection of poems based on real student notes to her physicist husband is a fun read — an interesting peek into the life of students from their point of view.  See my previous post to see the title poem (which I think is one of the best).

Here’s one, for example:

Dear Professor

I’m preparing for your exam

in Quantum

Which means I am waiting

for the nonzeroprobability

that my brilliance

will manifest on its own.

It’s bound to happen.

There’s just no telling when.

See Nin Andrews’ site for more, and a link to buy the book.
