To understand what is and to imagine what could be; to transcend and birth and promise.\n\nThis is the message of today's guest, David Farrier. David is a professor in literature and the environment at Edinburgh University, and the author of _Nature's Genius: Evolutions Lessons for a Changing Planet_(UK version, US version). He joins me to discuss poetry, literature, relationality, language and intelligence. In this wide-ranging and meditative conversation, we discuss how space and time are made between species, how the entire world is evolving with and through the crisis, and what we can learn from Nature herself to meet this moment exactly where we are.\n\n🎧\n\n __You can listen to the episode on your podcast app, in your browser,__ download__it or__ watch__it on Youtube (where automatic subtitles are provided).__\n\nFrom the Enlightenment to whale song, this conversation explores just how critical art is in a moment of breakdown to be a vehicle for transformation, for transmutation, and, perhaps most importantly, daring—mirroring Nature's very own life force.\n\n__Planet: Critical investigates why the world is in crisis. It is ad-free, paywall-free and 100% reader-supported.
