As expected, carnivorous plants are awesome specifically, they started to disrupt the belief in the "natural order," with humans on top, animals in the middle, and plants at the bottom.

Brilliant and fascinating essay!

Anne Carson. Yes. Just absolutely, yes.

THE PARIS REVIEW

INTERVIEWER
In the writing world, particularly in and around M.F.A. programs, there's a lot of discussion around things like "character" and "perspective," the mechanics of narrative. Do you think about
"craft" in these terms?

CARSON
Never. I don't think about it. I think people should just quit that stuff. Just think about something and follow it down to where it gets true.

For the new Taste issue of @orionmagazine.bsky.social, I wrote about carnivorous plants, plant experience and sensation, my own appetite, and how scientific “order” has shaped what we believe we have the right to eat.

Adds to pre-order list ASAP! My partner and I had the pleasure of seeing Prof. @lacymjohnson.bsky.social in conversation with Richard Powers in 2024 during his “Playground” book tour. That was my favorite #InprintHouston presentation of the year. (1/2)
