Author/artist Wendie Donabie presents a new nature-inspired book
On Tuesday, June 25, at 2 p.m., meet author/artist Wendie Donabie in the Social Room at The Tom condos at Campus Trails (23 Campus Trail, Huntsville). Wendie will share her journey to the publication of her nature-inspired book, Views from the Edge of the Earth. Inspired by her love of the natural world, the poet combined 76 images of her paintings and photographs along with 78 poetic reflections to create her book.
Views from the Edge of the Earth is a call to action for everyday people. Her book will be available to purchase.
“We live in a world of incredible beauty, remarkable in its biodiversity from microscopic to gigantic life. Yet, we’re killing our planet with the waste and harm we’ve done — habitat lost, and species gone or fading fast. In Views from the Edge of the Earth, Wendie share the beauty, the joy and, at times, the pain Wendie experiences in living every day. Written in a simple, straightforward style, the collection begins with a dire vision but ends with a message of hope. Some entries may cause you to think differently, others may simply bring a smile to your face.” (An excerpt from the Introduction to Views from the Edge of the Earth.)
