Bird expert and poet Drew Lanham on how he's inspired by the natural world

Drew Lanham refers to himself as a ‘rare bird.’ The ornithologist, naturalist and writer says he believes conservation efforts must be a blending of rigorous science and evocative art. Lanham is among the new class of MacArthur Fellows, an honor often called ‘The Genius Award.’ Jeffrey Brown traveled to South Carolina to speak with Lanham for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
