The Wick Poetry Center will begin the 2025 Fall Semester with a book launch, poetry readings and a new exhibit from its Poets for Science collaboration.
Published by Paloma Press in collaboration with the Wick Poetry Center and Poets for Science, The Nature of Our Times: Poems on America’s Lands, Waters, Wildlife, and Other Natural Wonders is a companion to the United By Nature Initiative, a first-of-its-kind, national assessment of U.S. lands, waters, and wildlife, David Hassler, the Bob and Walt Wick Executive Director of the center, explained to Kent State Today.
“This anthology of poems will serve as a companion to the first knowledge assessment of nature and nature’s benefits in the United States,” Hassler said. Levin’s talk will be followed by a poetry reading by Hassler’s co-editors, Luisa A. Igloria and Aileen Cassinetto, and Ohio poets featured in the anthology.
