We are delighted to share this beautifully written essay by David Hassler and Phil Levin in Science on the powerful relationship between poetry and science.
“Art without science risks inspiring ineffective action; science without art often struggles to inspire action at all. Neither is sufficient by itself.”
We are especially thrilled to see The Nature of Our Times: Poems on America’s Lands, Waters, Wildlife, and Other Natural Wonders included in this important conversation about how poetry can deepen our connection to the natural world and inspire meaningful action.
