Join Poets House for the first event in Poetry & Science—an ongoing series that bridges scientific and poetic modes of learning—to be introduced and moderated by Field Work Poet-in-Residence Katharine Coles. Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, astrophysicist at the American Museum of Natural History, discusses the formation of galaxies in conversation with poet and collaborative artist Mei-mei Berssenbrugge. Contemplate the universe from deep time to the life and death of stars, guided by three seasoned stargazers whose backgrounds span physics, philosophy, and visual art.

Admission $10, $7 for students and seniors, free to Poets House members
