Nina Murray is a newcomer to the Poetry Postcard Fest, with 2020 being her first year. A Foreign Service Officer, she had a lot to share about the fest, her work and the state of consciousness that poetry (done right) can enable. Enjoy!
Reflection on Poetry Postcard Trees (& Photos!)
We need to learn from Fujitaro and see the gardens that can grow from our wastelands, from the Pacific trash heap to the City of Seattle dump to the logged former forestland to the filled in estuaries of rivers like the Duwamish that make the Port of Seattle or Marshlands that make Baltimore’s inner harbor to the sprawl of LA and suburbs around all cities in this country to the merciless businesses of insurance and pharmaceuticals and lobbying and media (social, in particular) and AI and bottled water and so on.
Such an intelligent and warm lady!
Wow, she’s a treasure!
Nina is truly a world way-shower and mentor…nice inner-view of both of you…
Your book looks interesting, Nina!
