Brandon Kilbourne Natural History (Paperback). Across the collection, Kilbourne describes how these histories of exploitation are still reflected in dioramas of elephants, rhinoceroses, and African people displayed in natural history museums. Other poems narrate the intricate work of studying fossils, and a longer sequence recounts an expedition above the Arctic Circle to recover evidence of how a fish's fins gave rise to the diversity of limbs found among amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Further DetailsTitle: Natural History Condition: New Description: A research biologist most recently at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, Brandon Kilbourne illuminates the intersections between science and poetry in poems that demonstrate the wonder, curiosity, and precision required by both disciplines. Natural History opens by confronting the hidden histories within the study of biology and its links to colonialism, including the revelation that European scientists used slave ships to transport specimens from Africa and the Americas back to Europe. Across the collection, Kilbourne describes how these histories of exploitation are still reflected in dioramas of elephants, rhinoceroses, and African people displayed in natural history museums. Other poems narrate the intricate work of studying fossils, and a longer sequence recounts an expedition above the Arctic Circle to recover evidence of how a fish's fins gave rise to the diversity of limbs found among amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Natural History is a rare and fascinating debut, and Kilbourne's exquisite eye brings the role of the working biologist to life.
