During the pandemic, Kansans have found solace in nature. To celebrate Kansas poetry and the beauty of the spring bird migration, Humanities Kansas is offering free copies of its original poetry and bird chapbook, Words of a Feather, for cultural organizations to distribute within their communities.
The chapbook features 10 poems inspired by Kansas birds paired with original bird illustrations by Brad Sneed, followed by questions to engage readers in humanities-themed conversations.
I propose poetry as a practice through which we can reawaken our sense of wonder, and in doing so, reorient our own relation to the world.
—Megan Kaminski, editor of Words of a Feather
