Wipf and Stock has just published my new book of nature poems entitled Nature’s Olympics. Nature’s Olympics is a book of concise poems about plants, animals, and birds in wilderness areas and in cities. This book focuses on the flora and fauna of the Midwest. Nature’s Olympics has four sections dedicated to the different seasons: Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring. Poetic forms include haiku, tanka, sonnets, and free verse. Like many writers, I find that the natural world inspires insight into human life. Nature’s Olympics has an accessible style and approach to poetry. Also, this book includes some poems about the intersection of political issues, feminism, and religion with nature. Lori McElrath Eslick did the cover art, and Keith Everett Jones designed the book. Here is a link to the book. https://wipfandstock.com/9781666730739/natures-olympics/ #poetry #nature #newbook #seasons Cover for Nature's Olympics; artist is Lori McElrath Eslick
