Poetry Hive: An Online Writing Project
Who are you?

What is your project?
Why does the beaver slap its tail? How do creatures adapt when floodwaters rise? When I hike each season, I observe the beauty and interconnectedness of nature—or I’m learning to see it: each element is like the silky threads of the great web that knits the whole system together. As I discover the connections, I’m in awe. I care about its preservation. Coincidentally, caring might make me a better human, too. To share my experiences and inspire more people to get outdoors, I created Poetry Hive. It’s an online writing project featuring poems and essays inspired by Northern landscapes and wildlife.
