Provides a manifesto for activists in education and conservation—as Wilson and Hass explain how the close observation of nature, which is central to both poetry and science, can rouse the conservationist in all of us, the conversation becomes a powerful treatise on the necessity of achieving consilience (an interdisciplinary unity of knowledge between science and the humanities) and the value of narrative to inspire social and civic responsibility.
Features two bestselling writers and educators, a foreword by Poets House Executive Director Lee Briccetti, and publication support from Poets House, which co-hosted the sold-out event between Hass and Wilson at the American Museum of Natural History in New York in December 2012.
Presented in a beautiful edition and priced for the gift market, classroom, and bookseller point-of-sale promotions.
