About this ebook
Existing Science attempts to find the intersection of scientific laws, universal constants, theoretical Ideals, and our emotional, human experience. We are each a universe unto ourselves, so where in us and between us does all this beautiful science exist?
Fletch Fletcher
Fletch Fletcher is a science teacher, a poet, a brother, a friend, and an observer of how all people connect to everything around them. We need to strive for connection if we are to ever be better than we are.

Assure PressPraise for Fletch Fletcher
"Fletcher attempts to convert science into the erotic, & he is gorgeously successful. He turns the universe, its stars & black holes into tangible & personal entities that reside somewhere all around us & inside us. This collection is a tribute to living & dying, to desiring & imagining. It uses scholarship to question existence, even the kind of musing that rouses … ‘what could be left to hold from Earth / but love.’ Existing Science is an important, necessary and wonderfully crafted debut."
Yesenia Montilla, author of The Pink Box & Muse Found in a Colonized Body (Forthcoming, Four Way Books 2022)
"Fletcher has created a universe where dark matter smells like lilacs and where it also bleeds, where we can learn from the stars and kiss them goodnight. Laws and theories and emotions connect, collide and reconnect throughout these poems as the speaker contemplates his own loves and losses. Science is personified and invites us to travel through the galaxies of our own life journeys where there is hope amid cosmic and human joys and tragedies. Science takes us by the hand and shows us how to trust
