Literature
Another way
of looking.
Scientific language aims to reduce ambiguity. Poetry often does the opposite: it uses ambiguity, compression and rhythm to make experience newly visible.
First collection
Arte Rupestre
A scientific career does not exhaust a life in language.
Arte Rupestre is João Rocha’s first published collection of poetry. The Portuguese National Library catalogues the book as a 2024 Opera Omnia edition.
Second collection
Short stories
An 11-story collection is currently in the final stages of preparation.
The interest here is not in turning science into poetry, or poetry into science, but in allowing two demanding forms of attention to coexist.Editorial note for this website
