Marie VC, PhDMaking the Invisible Visible: Some Thoughts on Poetry & Science (Jane Hirshfield, 2024 Blaney Lecture on March 19, 2024)
"Art and science both begin with seeing: with observation and description (...) But to see in ways that matter past the immediate moment, you need something else: to preserve perception."
