ethnobotanist DALE PENDELL talk & book signing for Pharmako Gnosis Tuesday, April 11th at 7 pm
In Pharmako Gnosis, contemporary alchemist Dale Pendell completes his poetic study of botany, chemistry, spirituality, psychology and history in a volume covering the composition and uses of visionary plants. "A poet, ethno-botanist and amateur chemist, he's the best writer on drugs to come along since the late Terence McKenna." - The Village Voice
Dale Pendell is a poet, writer, software engineer, and longtime student of ethnobotany. He considers science a "proper subset" of poetry, and has led workshops on ethnobotany and ethnopoetics for the Naropa Institute and the Botanical Preservation Corps. His performance group, Oracular Madness, has appeared at Burning Man and other strung venues.
