Coming in at well under 200 pages, this short poetry collection would be a great start to your new year reading!
In this signature project edited and introduced by Ada Limón, the 24th Poet Laureate of the United States, each writer takes a unique approach to our connection to what nature and poetry mean in our rapidly changing planet. This book includes prominent poets like Joy Harjo, Diane Seuss, Rigoberto González, Jericho Brown, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Paul Tran, and more.
I enjoyed reading previously unpublished pieces from writers I’ve read before while also discovering new-to-me poets.
Read a few poems a day, or spend an afternoon absorbed in this collection!
