This exchange is so moving. Have you and Brian have considered publishing these poems in a chapbook/ book? They would make a powerful collection, I think.
If a river and a wetland could speak in communion, they have done it here. The heron is a river narrator. Bravo to this collaboration!! The conversational style smartly makes this poem piece accessible as a teaching tool.

MK, I love your response.
I'm going to talk to Brian. He will do more of these Exchanges. (his brainchild) I could see a chapbook of a year of them.🌱
We haven’t but who knows where things will go?! Thanks for reading along!
Beautiful!!!
Really beautiful poem Katharine! I like the conversation style of the poem. I'm glad the image was helpful to your poem!
Gratitude to you, Neil, for permission to use your photo. I wish you could have heard my editor's gasp when she first saw the Great Blue Heron!💙
It is such a striking photo! Well done💫
Thanks Brian and appreciate the series you and Katharine are writing!
especially in the face of what came next, wow. Compassion and kindness and a salute of respect to the storyteller. And the waters.
and the waters, yes.💙

Taylor, thank you for making my week💙🌎
This is a very clever back and forth, Katharine. Very impressive.
Also, "riparian". I learn a new word!
Riparian ~ I met the word while working on Rights of Nature for the Swannanoa River. Smitten…always looking for the opportunity to say “riparian.”
