pull quote from p. 63: “#Poetry suffuses The Expanse…priming the reader to engage with the protomolecule on poetic grounds where scientific grounds seem inadequate...As Fayez says, trying to interpret the protomolecule's activity: ‘Seriously, I feel like we should have brought a poetry grad student along. This is bullshit as data.' (LF 88) STEM holds sway where capital governs, but out on the peripheries, in the void between gate-linked stars and the darkness of dead planets, the remains of the Builders that characters encounter everywhere in The Expanse keep defying scientific knowledge and so demand other ways of knowing for when the going gets weird. Poetry, perhaps surprisingly, provides one such other way.”
