I too would love to hear Matthiessen speak on this subject, or on nearly any subject. His book “the Dry Tortugas” should be included among his recommended work. His taking our consciousness for an interesting walk where nature’s patterns overwhelm the reasoning power of our limited experience is a journey into the intersection of wild and self.
Is there some reason that a lecture like this wouldn’t be recorded by the local sponsoring organization and made available for later viewing? It would seem to be in keeping with the support it recieves from public funds and the existence of the inernet and web-sites like google video seem to make an offering like that a natural.
