In Louise Glück's poem "Daisies," she writes "The garden / is not the real world. Machines / are the real world." As spring brings new life to the urban ecosystem of Brooklyn, what can turning toward this supposedly unreal world of greenery illuminate? 

Join us in an exploration of Glück's provocation alongside Emerson's essay "Nature" in one of Bed-Stuy's lush community gardens. We'll attend to our surroundings through the lens of Emerson's "transparent eyeball" — a state of being that dissolves the border between self and nature.
