Poetry for Open Spaces was
created in April of 2015 in honor of National Poetry Month. This initiative was
developed to promote the appreciation of poetry and the exploration of nature.
There are many ways to work
toward preserving our earth. Spending time in nature fosters awareness.
Awareness inspires action. Reading the words of poets who appreciate nature
offers a fresh perspective.
The hectic pace of modern life
takes us away from the natural world. Sadly, we have to put some degree of
effort into finding the time and space to take a walk in the woods, or discover
the beautiful places in our own communities. The walks that will nourish you
are closer than you think.
