Poetry & reflections

Sinhala poetry, creative writing and the relationship between scientific and artistic imagination.

I write poetry in Sinhala. My writing often returns to night, the moon and stars, water, wind, flowers, memory, silence and the passing of time.

Where poetry meets physics

Scientific thinking and poetic imagination do not need to compete. Physics offers ways to describe the motion of water, light and matter; poetry asks what their movement means to a person experiencing them.
