Overview

This blog is the project for my Edina High School May Term. My adviser is Ms Martha Cosgrove.
I will be exploring poetic forms in relation to the beauty and nature of the Colorado Rockies. I will be engaging in nature by hiking and spending time on several mountains, all over 10,000 feet. I plan on writing new types of poetry (for me), such as pantoum and rondeau, along with old forms as well (renga, sonnet).
Originally, we planned to hike Colorado's 14ers, 14,000 foot mountains (as measured from sea level), with a focus on the Sawatch Range 14ers. Unfortunately, Colorado recently got several feet of snow, making it both difficult and dangerous to hike our intended routes. As a result, we will be hiking different mountains than originally planned, and will be engaging in nature in other ways.
