Computers offer poets a chance to reconnect poetic and scientific knowledge.

Evidence

Poets today, fascÎnated by the adventure of computers [l’informatique], sense that here lies, if not the germ of a possible response to society’s haranguing, at least a chance to reconnect the two orders of knowledge, the poe tic and the scientific. Visible now, and approachable thanks to computers, scÎentific intention, putting in action the most obvious workings of social responsibility, concretely alerts and ques- tions the poet. — Édouard Glissant, Poetics of Relation, 437
