[Stahl:] And there’s nothing “unpoetic” about science?
[Ammons:] I don’t know. I think things right in the center of the humanities can be very unpoetically treated, and I think you can go, on the other hand, to what is considered to be the antipoetic and find there the chief manifestation of poetry. I don’t think that there is any kind of prescription or circumscription that should say to a person, “Look here and not there for poetry.”
