Celebrate Poetry and Birds at the Randall Davey Audubon Center

Nationwide poetry month is the biggest literary celebration on the planet with tens of thousands and thousands of contributors worldwide. It celebrates poets’ integral position in our tradition and reminds us that poetry issues. 

Have fun with us by strolling the haiku trail on the Randall Davey Audubon Heart and sit or stroll amongst the phrases and birds. The path is dotted with haikus by native poets rendered on ceramic plaques and hung alongside a route that begins at our wildlife gardens and leads up towards the acequia.  

One among our featured poets is the present United States Poet Laureate, Arthur Sze. Arthur just lately visited the Heart with photographers and videographers from the Library of Congress who had been interviewing him and documenting his work. A number of of his poems had been impressed by the fantastic thing about the Randall Davey Heart. The Heart can also be particular to Arthur as that is the place he and his spouse, the poet Carol Moldaw, had been married beneath an apricot tree within the orchard. 

Go to the Randall Davey Audubon Heart to see Arthur and Carol’s poems on the haiku path together with 22 different New Mexico poets, and whereas you’re right here, cease in our reward store to seek out publications by native nature poets.  See you quickly!
