"Experiments In The Fading Light" with author Steven L. Peck

Signature Books

Author and poet Steven L. Peck joins Signature marketing manager Beth Brumer Reeve in an interview about his new book of poetry, Experiments in the Fading Light. Listen as Steven reads some of his favorites from this collection and shares how he got in trouble at school for reading so much during class, which we believe helped him become an amazing writer.

An award-winning novelist, short-story writer, and poet, Steven L. Peck is unusual in that he is also a working scientist who has published dozens of papers on evolutionary ecology and the philosophy of science. His worldwide studies of ecologies have given him a keen understanding of the dangers and troubles we face as a species and as individually embodied beings. He recently began to formally study soundscapes, especially the songs of our avian friends. His poetry reflects on his observations as he explores the wonders of this planet and our place in a complex world. He is an ecology professor at Brigham Young University, where he studies the ecology of birds and insects. He has published over fifty scientific articles on evolutionary ecology and the philosophy of biology.
