Our first insect poetry book, Rain and Wings, with our Central State University students, has been published!
Rain and Wings is a celebration of the extraordinary world of insects, bringing together poems by Central State University students and their entomology professor. From the quiet industry of ants and bees to the delicate beauty of butterflies, dragonflies, and fireflies, these poems reveal the wonder hidden in the smallest forms of life.
Blending scientific observation with creative expression, this collection invites readers to slow down, look closely, and discover that even the tiniest creatures can inspire awe, reflection, and joy.
Accompanied by illustrations created by a young artist, Rain and Wings is a joyful invitation to readers of all ages to see the natural world with fresh eyes.
