Poets in the ‘Root
February 24 @ 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Nature in nearly all manifestations has inspired poets since there were poets! And at least since the Roman poet Horace wrote Ars Poetica or the Art of Poetry in 19BC, literature, including poetry, sought to both instruct and delight.
Poets in the ‘Root combines these two aims in an uncommon but simple way. One person reads a favorite poem or part of a poem that uses an element of nature to convey its message. Then, the same or another person gives an explanation (5 minutes max) of some aspect of that nature element. The explanation focuses on nature interpretation, not literary interpretation. Listeners get a bit of poetry and a bit of natural history.
Free and open to the public.
The program will be held at the Teller Wildlife Refuge in Corvallis, on Saturday, February 24, at 1 p.m. There will be refreshments, including coffee, tea, wine, and snacks!
Bitterroot Audubon, Teller Wildlife Refuge, and the Montana Natural History Center are sponsoring this event.
