Miroslav Holub - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (147 words) |
 | Miroslav Holub (13 September 1923 Plzeň - 14 July 1998) was a Czech poet and immunologist. |
| Due to his analytic nature, his (almost always unrhymed) poetry lent more easily to translation (overall into more than 30 languages) and was especially popular in the English-speaking world. |
| As well as poetry, Holub wrote many short essays on various aspects of science (particularly biology and medicine) and life. |

| "Holub's concentration on molecular destiny, perhaps strategically, overlooks the fact that we are storytelling animals dependent on each other, and moving towards a goal in ways that are partially constrained by the way we have already moved. |
| "Holub is an immunologist, and the rigorous logic of the scientist shows in many of the poems, which are almost mathematical in their analogies. |
| Holub's mixing of science and poetry is certainly one of the more obviously striking aspects of his work. |
