Join us on March 19 for "Making the Invisible Visible: Some Thoughts on Poetry & Science," the 2024 Blaney Lecture by Jane Hirshfield

Join us for the 2024 Blaney Lecture on Contemporary Poetry & Poetics:

“Making the Invisible Visible: Some Thoughts on Poetry & Science,” delivered by former Academy Chancellor Jane Hirshfield
Tuesday, March 19, at 7:30 p.m. ET
Presented via YouTube
 

Both poems and science are tools for making visible what was always there to be seen. Both also create new ways of seeing, feeling, knowing, and living. Amid the crises, griefs, divisions, and losses of the current era, this lecture explores a few examples of the ways that expansions of saying and knowing are also expansions of what might be possible, thinkable, and doable.

A YouTube link will be sent to registered attendees two days, two hours, and ten minutes before the event.

The Blaney Lecture was created in memory of former Academy Board member Dr. Dorothy Gulbenkian Blaney, past president of Cedar Crest College and champion of women and education, by a gift from her estate.
