An intimate and moving interpretation of the life and work of Charles Darwin, by the acclaimed poet and direct descendent of the famous scientist.
In these extraordinary poems, using multiple viewpoints -- from Darwin himself, to his beloved wife Emma, and even, at one point, the orangutang at London Zoo -- Ruth Padel illuminates the development of Darwin's thought, the drama of the discovery of evolution, and the fluctuating emotions of Darwin the husband, the naturalist and the tender father, in a powerful tribute to her famous ancestor.
