The Edunia, or Why I Prefer Narrative over Science

Eduardo Kac's current exhibit at the Weisman includes a genetically engineered petunia. The genetic engineering involved adding a snippet of human DNA, namely Kac's, to the petunia, thereby making it an Edunia. It was a pretty plant, or plantimal as Kac is supposed to refer to it. However, I'm not certain what else there is to say about the Edunia. Certainly it is pretty.

This lack of speech on encountering the Edunia probably suggests why I write narratives instead of say L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry.

How about you? What do you have nothing to say about and why?

Writing Mental Illness is next offered in June.
