Experience memories of warmer seasons from a new, smaller perspective
Poetry, pictures and music will be a unique way of learning about the natural history of insects as Geauga Park District presents Poetry in Nature on Sunday, February 9, 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at The West Woods Nature Center.
This singularly different program will feature photos and music to highlight several specific species, followed by a unique poem reading by Naturalists Linda Gilbert and Tami Gingrich. The poems are first-person accounts about insect life, as told by the insects themselves.
“While reading through the poems in preparation for this program, I was surprised by the emotional reaction I had to one entitled ‘Chrysalis Diary’ – and it’s not even a sad poem,” Linda said.
“This is a playful way to portray different insect species,” Tami said, “and we hope that people will come away with a new perspective on each of them.”
“And if nothing else, come and see if Tami and Linda can make it through the program without weeping,” added Linda.
