Here we go! After almost a year of work, the project is being rolled out and I could not be more excited and humbled.

Today my national poetry project launches. It's called You Are Here and it celebrates poetry in the natural world. It's been a long journey to get to this moment and we've had such incredible partners along the way. I hope this project helps to deepen our love for this planet.

This morning, Felipe, Nico and I ate our granola and yogurt and berries while listening to Morning Edition. After the segment on THE QUICKENING ran I interviewed Nico about his recent sandcastle construction projects. Dreams DO come true! Feeling v. blessed over here.

Deeply grateful to Alex Hodor-Lee Document Journal for the thoughtful conversation (& for his stunning photographs.) I appreciated the clarity and urgency of his line of inquiry. Check out our conversation 👇 which took place beneath the backyard beech.
