In this book-length series, poems with titles such as "Illustrating the theory of interference" and "Illustrating the construction of railroads" are paired with nineteenth-century engravings depicting phenomena from geology to astronomy to mechanics. Yet the poems relate to the images in an oblique rather than a direct way.
