If the natural world around us, including the world of our own bodies, is a palimpsest, as Gary Snyder suggests, with constantly shifting layers of history-partially known or unknowable, largely forgotten or existing only in memory-is it possible to develop techniques that will allow us to imagine, remember, or recover those landscapes from which we have become exiled? On this panel, a writer, an artist, a literary critic, and a geneticist will discuss their methodologies of discovery.
