A Thousand Ways to Live Within the Seasons — A Conversation with David G. Haskell, Dara McAnulty, and Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee

About this episode

David G. Haskell and Dara McAnulty discuss the sensory experiences and symbolism of the seasons.

In this second episode of our seasons conversation series, Volume 6 contributors David G. Haskell and Dara McAnulty explore how our senses shape myriad experiences of the seasons, some collective and some deeply personal. Finding wonder in the symbolism of daffodils in spring, carnivals of pollen-dusted black bees, and the feeling of joy tinged with grief as familiar seasonal moments return each year altered, David and Dara invite us to open our eyes, ears, and hearts to the celebration that lives within the seasons.
