Overview
Join us for an evening of poetry by Brandon Kilbourne, in celebration of the publication of his new book, Natural History. Kilbourne illuminates the intersections between science and poetry in poems that demonstrate the wonder, curiosity, and precision required by both disciplines. He will be joined by Sushma Reddy, Breckenridge Chair of Ornithology Curator of Birds at the Bell Museum, for a conversation exploring the colonial legacy of museum collections, the importance of biodiversity, the intersection of art and science, and the ways these intersect in Kilbourne’s research and lived experiences, and inform his outlook on life.
