Description

Darwin A Life in Poems by Ruth Padel is a poignant and powerful tribute to Charles Darwin's life. Through a diverse range of poems, Padel explores the evolution of his thoughts, the drama of his discovery, and the complexities of his personal relationships. The poems offer a unique perspective on Darwin's life, drawing on multiple viewpoints - including those of his wife Emma and even an orangutan at London Zoo. This innovative approach illuminates the inner workings of Darwin's mind and reveals the depth of his emotions as a husband, naturalist, and father. With its shortlisted status for the 2009 Costa Poetry Award, this collection is a significant contribution to our understanding of one of history's most fascinating figures.
