Aquarium Poet

Studio 360

Jeffrey Yang spends a lot of time studying marine life. But he’s not a biologist working on the beach. He’s a poet who loves visiting his local aquarium. In his new book, An Aquarium, killer whales, eels, and fish become symbols of politics and mythology. Produced by Ari Daniel Shapiro.
