Reconnect with nature through written verse.

We could use Arbor Day or Earth Day as an excuse to read nature poetry, but we’re going to level with you: we read a lot of nature poetry anyway. We use it as a way to connect with the natural world around us. As a way to connect with our planet and our fellow humans through (despite) the haze of technology we carry with us and interact through.

When we can’t curl up with a poetry book (looking at you, 15-minute morning coffee break) these are the places we hit up for some inspiring, refreshing nature poetry.
