Poetry on the Trail

Where Words Meet the Wild: Celebrating the connection between poetry and place.

Poetry on the Trail invites you to explore the intersection of art and nature—where a poem can stop you mid-stride, and the landscape itself becomes a living page.

Our mission is to deepen our connection to the environment through the meeting of poetry and nature. Our vision is to grow and support a community that showcases the natural resources celebrated by the region’s writers.
