Brian Keating - ooooh, he teaches Poetry for Physicists???
Poetry for Physicists

.... essays by physicists such as Brian Greene, Richard Feynman, and Michio Kaku along with poetry (by poets ranging from Shakespeare and Keats to the most contemporary) which somehow addresses, exemplifies or complicates aspects of scientific thought.

In 2014, amidst the purported detection of a long-sought signal heralding the "spark that ignited the Big Bang', Keating was busy co-teaching a course at UC San Diego entitled "Poetry for Physicists", with Pulitzer Prizewinner Rae Armantrout. His first book, Losing the Nobel Prize was ranked a Best Science Book of the Year by Science Friday, Physics Today, Forbes Magazine, and selected as an Amazon Editors' Pick as a Best Nonfiction Book.

Keating's second book, Think Like a Nobel Prize Winner, is based on interviews from his top ranked podcast, The INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE Podcast. Think Like a Nobel Prize Winner distills the life-lessons of 9 Nobel Prize winners into a self-help guide for STEM professionals and beyond.
