The Entangled Project
first, a definition
Entanglement /(É›nˈtæÅ‹ gÉ™l mÉ™nt)/:
all these things are all the same
-
A quantum state in which two particles affect one another despite lack of physical proximity.
-
A poetic force uniting individuals to create, grow, collaborate, and thrive, despite lack of physical proximity.
We've all experienced entanglement. Have you ever read a book and cried? Looked at a painting and felt something? Heard a song and felt your hips sway or your head move to the beat?​
​
Art affects us. Even when the artist is across the world. Even long after they've passed. This is a miracle.
​
The Entangled Project began a few years ago when a group of likeminded poets connected on social media. We wrote about molecules and heartache and water and death and so many other things. Some of us are scientists and some not, but all of us are just seeking to interpret the universe in a way that matters.
​
We all wrote poems focused on "scientific" categories like space, mind, etc. and put them together in this anthology. The result, like entanglement itself, is so much greater than the sum of its parts.
​
We hope you enjoy.
