The Universe in Verse offers poems from titans of poetic perspective, performed by a largehearted cast of scientists and artists, astronauts and poets, Nobel laureates and Grammy winners.
“The Universe in Verse is an adaptation, an experiment, a Promethean campfire for the collective imagination...The Universe in Verse is...a broadening of perspective: cosmic, creaturely, temporal, scientific, humanistic — all the more vital as we find the aperture of our attention and anxiety so contracted by the acute suffering of this shared present.” — Maria Popova, curator and host
