I. Rowan professor's poetry bridges two cultures
In an era of free verse and spoken word "slams," it may be difficult to argue that poetry is a science. But Tirupathi Reddy Chandrupatla - friends and colleagues call him TR - sees the poetry in science (particularly in mathematics), and vice versa. "There is a clear harmony between them," the Rowan University mechanical engineering professor says. "In language, when you want to express something in a precise way (you have to be) analytical in some respect . . . and when you work with numbers, there's a certain harmony as well."

Deepti Naval talks about her new collection of poetry: "The poems belong to a particular phase in my life, beginning in 1990 and ending at around 1995. I had created them in fits and starts over the years ... The first part, Black Winds, has around 50 poems that are totally subjective, introspective and reflective of my own feelings as I lived within my loneliness, in company or outside of it. The second part, The Silent Scream, would interest readers more. There are 24 poems that throw back to 23 days I spent in a mental home for women as a normal person. The experience was traumatic to begin with. But as I lived with them, everything began to fall into place and seeped into me so much that I asked for permission to extend my stay from three days to 23 days. Then, it was the parting that was traumatic." See for this and more: http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/GB10Df01.html ------------------------ Yahoo!
