Has science and technology got it all worked out, or are there aspects of our human existence, environment and experience about which boffins and psychologists are still pretty clueless?
Why do some beetles have an integral satnav system? Why do we fall in love ... and then out of it again? Could you be swallowed by a whale and survive?
Andy Smith offers a tentative response to such questions in this poetic presentation - and comes to very few definite conclusions.
Views: 1966 | Enquiries: 20Andy is a performance poet, entertainer, author and former business communicator who has two artificial limbs, a wonderful wife, three fine children and a whippet. (And two feisty chickens until Basil Brush made their acquaintance).
He drives, walks, talks and engages live or digital audiences with stimulating poetry and related commentary ... interspersed with humour, thought-provoking insights and the occasional smattering of history.
Andy also presents the lighter side of disability whilst motivating audiences of all ages and abilities to make the most of what they’ve got.
Carpe diem!
