<span style="font-family:inherit">Get ready for another year of dynamic readings at St Jerome's! We are very excited about our lineup, and the theme that guides it, specially suited to St Jerome's and Waterloo. </span><br>
<span style="font-family:inherit"><br>
</span><span style="font-family:inherit">Our upcoming Reading Series -- <i>Metaphoriment</i> -- will explore how the literary arts approach the sciences, how metaphor meets experiment. Our vision for this series begins with the assumption that the sciences
and the literary arts are both grounded in the act of exploration. The languages of description and imagination are, in different ways, foundational to both. Scientists and writers alike start with intent attention to the worlds around and within them, and
then imagine themselves into worlds that could, or should, be. Both the scientist and the writer create their arts in that tense but invigorating space between the control one might exert over one’s mediums and the willingness and necessity not to know what
the outcome might be.</span><br>
<span style="font-family:inherit"><br>
</span><span style="font-family:inherit">In selecting authors for our <i>Metaphoriment</i> series, we have defined the sciences rather broadly to include, for instance, representations of medicine, physics, and biology. </span>Some of our writers are practicing
doctors, veterinarians, or scientists. Some explore scientific themes in their writing, employ science as metaphor, or apply experimental principles to their creative practice.<br>
<span style="font-family:inherit"><br>
