About event
Join us in celebrating the 25th Anniversary winner of the Cave Canem Prize, Brandon Kilbourne, with a reading at Haus für Poesie in Berlin.
Join Cave Canem and Haus für Poesie in celebrating the 25th Anniversary winner of the Cave Canem Prize, Brandon Kilbourne, at one of our first international events. His work, Natural History, illuminates the intersections between science and poetry in poems that demonstrate the wonder, curiosity, and precision required by both disciplines.
“Kilbourne pushes back against . . . the carefully made museum with its curated forgetting, silences, and erasures, even the scientists (then and now) who could never have imagined someone like him turning his early calling not only into scientific study but also into poetry. Natural History is a marvel.”—Natasha Trethewey
This event is hosted in partnership with Haus für Poesie.
