Currently Speaking: Poetry and Consciousness

A poetry reading and talk will explore how our Cartesian confining of consciousness to the human brain has allowed for the unprecedented destruction of the natural world. This talk will discuss how poetry uniquely situates language as a medium in which to illuminate a much greater consciousness, accessing complex psychical relations between people, nature, the cosmos, and the unknowable.
