Join editor Susan Barba for a mobile landscape reading of her new literary anthology, American Wildflowers: A Literary Field Guide, filled with classic and contemporary poems and essays inspired by wildflowers. What is a mobile landscape reading, you ask? Instead of presenting in an Arnold Arboretum lecture hall, Barba will bring participants through the wildflowers of the Arboretum to hear beautiful poems and prose among the wildflowers that inspired them. We will stop at different wildflowers highlighted in the book and listen as Barba reads passages about fireweed, chicory, or Solomon’s seal.
