Wendy Herbert, MBA '86

---

"Dear Specimen," the debut poetry collection from Wendy Herbert, MBA '86, offers a climate conscious critique of the human species: our search for meaning and intimacy, our capacity for greed and destruction.

Published Oct. 5 by Beacon Press, the collection, a 2020 National Poetry Series winner, is an extended love letter and dire warning, not only to the daughter its speaker leaves behind, but to all of us.
