Watch Biodiversity on Alabama Public Television Explore the incredible diversity of plant and animal species in Alabama.

Excited to be part of the Hemlock Poets for this show. We immersed in the hemlocks together, wrote poems, workshopped together, supported the writing process and one another, and finished our hemlock infused poems in just a few weeks. They have been printed as large broadsides 20”x40” to be hung in the gallery amidst the visual art. .leisha
