The Poetic Species book cover

Former U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Hass, author of What Light Can Do: Essays on Art, Imagination, and the Natural World, engages in conversation with the internationally-acclaimed scientist, entomologist and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner E.O. Wilson, author of The Social Conquest of Earth, about the intersections between science and poetry. These two extraordinary thinkers and writers — together for an unmissable conversation — discuss poetry, consciousness, evolution and the environment.
