Nature has long been both muse and mirror for poets, offering language for beauty, belonging, grief, and change. In this evocative panel, poets Jody Chan, Miranda Currie, Carly Straker, and Cassandra Blondin Burt gather to share work that speaks to land, water, animal life, and our place within it all. Guided by moderator Robyn Scott, the conversation will explore how poetry can deepen our relationship with the environment and illuminate the urgent intersections of ecology, identity, and imagination.
