John Bates                               Belonging to a Place Through the Lens of Poets

Poets work to shine light on the world. The work of any artist is to perceive the extraordinary within the ordinary by changing not the world but the eyes that look . . . Poetic perception inhabits an animate world, infused with empathic connection (Jayne Hirschfield). What does living in this place, the Northwoods, mean to each of us? How do we honor all the lives around us, as well as our own? Let’s see how Mary Oliver, Wendell Berry, and other poets use words to transform our experiences and help us belong to a place.
