Poetry Workshop: Why Look at Animals?

Thursday, November 5, 2026 at 4:00 PM · Bloedel Reserve

As humans, our senses, vibrant as they may seem, give us access to only a fraction of the world. Animals can see “outside, outside and beyond” what we can; they are “experts of these interstices,” as John Berger writes in Why Look at Animals? From Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Homer’s Iliad to folktales and myths across cultures, encounters with animals have long animated literature and childhood.
