Always there is something worth saying
about glory, about gratitude.
“I believe in kindness.
Also in mischief.
Also in singing, especially when singing is not necessarily prescribed.”

And this is the “after” image. I don‘t think I‘ve ever done this to a poem before. I practically dissected the thing.

This was a nice example of how sounds (types of letters and letter combinations) effect the feeling/environment evoked by a poem.
Think of this as the “before” image.

This is such a cool book. It‘s HUGE and it combines my new(ish) found love of Nature Poetry and my long time love of Nature Photography. When I bought this, I had no idea I‘d used the book to get suggestions last spring.

I know Whitman, Gill, and Berry, but what are some other poets that write nature poetry to check out? Or even specific collections by Berry or anyone else? Please and thank you!!!
