A Journey Through Love, Loss & Hope
For Everyone Who Has Ever Loved, Lost, and Still Held On
Through poetry, Poetic Science 101 explores the invisible forces that connect us: memory, longing, forgiveness, and hope.
The Author
Meet Justin Mitchell
Justin Mitchell is a former Navy Petty Officer First Class, a former data center building engineer, and a disabled veteran. His journey from science to poetry began when life forced a new path.
After an administrative separation following a schizophrenia diagnosis, Justin turned his background in submarine nuclear propulsion into writing poetry about the human experience.
Inspired by music and the world around him, he creates verses that bridge logic and emotion, and speak to anyone who has loved, lost, or hoped.
Inside the Collection
Poetic Science 101
What if the heart could be studied like the universe?
In Poetic Science 101, Justin Mitchell explores the forces we cannot see but deeply experience: love, heartbreak, hope, faith, and connection. Each poem is a journey through the questions that define what it means to be human.
“Mitchell’s heavy auditory appreciation manifests as structural, echoing rhythmic art.”
