Wild Atlanta: Greenspaces & Nature Preserves of 'The City in the Forest' - Paperback

For over a decade, Atlanta poet Stephen Wing has been exploring the city's many hidden pockets of wild nature with a group of fellow poets. These poems offer a sampling of the riches he has found there- treasures worth preserving as the city expands its footprint of concrete and powerlines. Photographer Luz Wright has captured portraits of the magical places depicted in Wing's poems through the unique perspective of her lens. The result is a luminous collaboration of word and image, imagery and vision, natural beauty and human imagination. Winner of a 2023 "Artist's Project" award from the City's Office of Cultural Affairs, this unique coffee-table book features 39 poems and over 100 photos chronicling 23 urban wildspaces in all four quadrants of Atlanta and beyond, with a one-page prose introduction.
