Darwin's Ark

<p>In celebration of Charles Darwin's bicentennial and the 150th anniversary of the publication of <i>The Origin of Species </i> Indiana University Press is publishing a new paperback edition of <i>Darwin's Ark </i> a collection of Philip Appleman's poems on Darwinian themes stunningly illustrated by internationally known printmaker Rudy Pozzatti. <br /><br />Philosophical witty poignant deeply intellectual and lyrical Appleman's poetry is always clear and powerful. All of the poems reflect Appleman's perception of the overwhelming sanity of Darwin's thought--together with a visceral sensation of wholeness--of the connectedness of humans and nature of the present with the past of joy and sorrow life and death. Pozzatti's varied illustrations represent his responses to the poems providing a mini Darwin bestiary and much more.</p>
