Influenced by Darwin

摘要

A session at Cambridge's Darwin Festival in early July explored connections between Darwin and current poetry. In a conversation with critic John Robert Holmes, Ruth Padel (Darwin's great-great-granddaughter), John Barnie (a Welsh writer and essayist), and Kelley Swain (a young American living in London) discussed how Darwin and his ideas have inflenced their poems and how those touch on important questions that the naturalist addressed.
