Art Disturbs, Science Reassures

In all of the bountiful spare time I found amongst graduating, preparing for medical school, packing to move to Chicago, and planning a wedding, I decided to write a book! Well, that's a part-lie. I assembled and printed a collection of shorter pieces that I did for a creative writing class this last semester. My entire undergraduate experience was a mashup of science and art. This last semester was the first time that I didn't take a lab science course, and thinking about the divisions and unions of science and art intrigued me. Georges Braque's quote, "Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures," circled my brain for weeks after I happened a cross it. While most of the work in the book does not deal directly with the title's theme, I thought it would be a satisfying culmination to four years of studying art and science. The book includes two fiction short stories, one short drama script, one creative nonfiction short story, and four poems. I also drew small illustrations for each piece. I did a very small printing (only six copies), but if you want to see some of it, shoot me an email.
