It is easy to see why April has been designated National Poetry Month, especially as Mother Nature seems to be slowly waking up and offers many reasons for inspiration. One of our display cases focuses on nature and poetry and includes one of my favorites from our collection, The Gardens of Emily Dickinson (811.4 FAR). The book provides insight into the poet’s personal love of gardening, how it is reflected in her poetry, and personal letters. Another title in the collection offering natural inspiration is House of Light by Mary Oliver (811.54 OLI). It is on days like this when the air seems to be a bit warmer, the birds seem to be signing a bit louder, and there is an energy in the air, that poetry and nature seem to go hand in hand. (This was a fun display to pull together - can you find our little critters {bugs} hanging out with the books? )
