Infinity in the Palm of Your Hand: How Poets See the Universe

“How is this plane staying up?” “Why did the whales return to the sea?” “What was the first sound the universe ever heard?” Poets ask the same questions as scientists, and their answers often dovetail in strange and stirring ways. Come and meet some practicing, publishing, and award-winning poets from MSU and the Greater Lansing area. As each one reads a poem, you can look through their poetic lenses to “see the world in a grain of sand” (Blake). Take away inspirational prompts for poems of your own and information about future workshops, readings, and open mics.
