Writing \u201csome of the most important poetry in the world today\u201d (The New York

\nconcerns of the biosphere. Her honors include fellowships from the Guggenheim
\nand Rockefeller Foundations, an NEA, the Poetry Center Book Award, the
\nCalifornia Book Award, long listing for the National Book Award, and finalist
\nselection for the National Book Critics Circle Award. A former Chancellor of
\nthe Academy of American Poets, Hirshfield was elected in 2019 into the
\nAmerican Academy of Arts & Sciences.<\/p>\n

In 2017, she founded Poets for Science in conjunction with the first March for
\nScience in Washington, D.C. The interactive project (hosted at Kent State\u2019s Wick
\nPoetry Center) has been installed across the country at universities, museums, and
\nresearch centers, and, we’re proud to announce, will be on display at the
\nArboretum for this event.<\/p>\n

\nan annual festival that celebrates the power of poetry, we welcome writers and
\nreaders alike into a joyful rising\u2014one galvanized by environmental science,
\nawareness, courage, and hope.<\/p>\n
