She has published essays on Darwin as well as on figures such as William James, Edward Lear, and Wallace Stevens in Southwest Review, The Wallace Stevens Journal, and Sexuality and Culture.
A playful, erudite, and fresh take on the emotional and imaginative dimensions of Darwin’s work, probing the many connections between his family relationships and the spirit of wonder with which he observed relationships in the living world. -- Ruth Padel, author of <i>Darwin: A Life in Poems</i> This is a joyful book. Instead of dwelling on the role of competition and extinction in Darwin's theory, as is so often done, Kay Harel emphasizes that love of life in all its varieties is crucial to Darwin's thinking and practice. The result is a deeply sympathetic study. -- Gillian Beer, author of <i>Darwin’s Plots: Evolutionary Narrative in Darwin, George Eliot, and Nineteenth-Century Fiction</i> [A] mighty debut. Harel’s lyrical musings delight, and they make for an original approach to a familiar topic. The science- and literary-minded alike will relish this thoughtful collection. * Publishers Weekly * A wonderful holistic understanding of Charles Darwin’s life and his own evolution. Recommended for fans of biologist/writer E. O. Wilson. * Library Journal * Gentle but stirring essays. [Kay] Harel's focus on the confluences of Darwin's life rather than its conflicts offers a refreshing take on his legacy. * Scientific American * A ""must read."" * The Next Big Idea Club *
