Fady Joudah and Katherine Larson appear at Prize Poets. Both are winners of the prestigious Yale Prize for Younger Poets (Joudah’s The Earth in the Attic won in 2007, and Larson’s Radial Symmetry in 2011). The two have something else in common: They are both scientists. Joudah is a practicing physician of internal medicine, often working with Doctors Without Borders. Larson is a molecular biologist and field ecologist. Prize Poets is presented by Public Poetry and Houston Public Library.
