World Literature Today Editor's Pick "Enchanting... The Poetic Species is a wonderful read in its entirety, short yet infinitely simulating." --Brain Pickings "The principle of consilience, or the unity of knowledge, infuses this conversation between biologist E. O. Wilson and poet Robert Hass... The eminent duo explore echoes and parallels in their respective fields with eloquent concision, from Wilson's advice to poets ("Colonize science") to Hass's musings on the interplay of selfish gene and social imperative in imagination." --Nature: International Weekly Journal of Science "The Poetic Species explores the intersection of science and the arts in relation to the staggering environmental crisis the world is encountering. I am encouraged by this call to action by both scientific and literary communities and curious about the possible responses." --World Literature Today Editor's Pick citation "Every page offers something worth contemplating ... The Poetic Species is a fascinating foray into the ways we're connected to each other and the natural world--highly recommended reading." --Rosemary & Reading Glasses
