This is an epic poem in a decidedly unlovely prose style, doomed to be so, no doubt, by the facts, figures and terminology of its subject matter. The free verse format performs the familiar role for Fuller of measuring out his discourse in digestible gobbets. description by: © Paul Taylor 2006
Author
Richard Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, and inventor. Fuller published more than 30 books, coining or popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth", ephemeralization, and synergetic. He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known geodesic dome. Carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic spheres. Buckminster Fuller was the second president of Mensa from 1974 to 1983.
