So happy to have worked with our new Loveland Poet Laureate, Beth Lechleitner, to help publish her new book Bear Days.

In this poetic reflection, E.A. Lechleitner captures her visit to Katmai National Park, home to a large concentration of Brown Bears (closely related to Grizzlies). In a Japanese poetic form known as the haibun, she gives a daily view of the lives of the bears through human and camera eyes. Prose meets haiku meets photography in this not scientific but poetically accurate portrayal of the Ursine and geographic.
