Reviews
Elizabeth Socolow's Laughing at Gravity (1988) is concerned with heredity as it is written: history. Socolow descends into Isaac Newton's disastrous early life to come up with the cause celebre of his quest for laws of motion: "As we find luck from catastrophe if we are to live/from crisis he found law." The results, though psychologically predicable, are ingeniously developed in poetry.[9]
