In this special presentation of The Merwin Conservancy’s Green Room series, artist and author Susan Middleton presented stories and images from two of her acclaimed books. First, a look at the wondrous realm of marine invertebrates, “the little things that run the world” as E.O. Wilson describes them in the foreword to her book Spineless. Then, a journey into the world of rare Hawaiian flora and fauna, highlighted W.S. Merwin’s eloquent foreword to the book Remains of a Rainbow.

Susan was joined on stage by renowned botanist and endangered species expert Steve Perlman for a portion of the presentation, and during a Q&A with the audience following the talk.

This event was presented by FIM Group with additional support from Atherton Family Foundation.
