Revisit Jane Hirshfield's Blaney Lecture on Poetry & Science

“There’s something else standing almost, not entirely, invisibly behind my wanting to look at our looking, wanting to understand better what we see and what we don’t.”
On March 19, former Academy Chancellor Jane Hirshfield delivered the 2024 Blaney Lecture, “Making the Invisible Visible: Some Thoughts on Poetry & Science.” Since then, it has been viewed more than five thousand times.

This Sunday, revisit Hirshfield’s insights on the kinds of knowledge both science and poetry make visible to us, along with new responses to questions from our listeners.
 
Revisit the 2024 Blaney Lecture
The annual Blaney Lecture on contemporary poetry and poetics 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.
