Mother Nature & Her Human Friends

Mother Nature and Her Human Friends is a narrative poem. The characters include Will, a twenty-year-old, who works for Miller, the landscaper of the Bonvern Valley Park. Will discovers a cave of vines and a hidden pool, and, tired of his studio apartment, spends the night in the cave with his dog Hilda. He has a dream vision of Mother Nature, who speaks to him and creates a new direction for his life. A day later, Will meets Linda in the cave, and together they gather a new group called Mother Nature's Friends. They build a network to save the forest and the wetland in their valley, and risk their lives to protect the living beauty around them.

“I’ve worked all my life trying to re-envision who we are and what nature is and can be. The idea that nature has no soul is a travesty, a monstrous loss of our identity. But now I see a different goal, a new role for us to play.”
– Lisa Nieves, Parks Commissioner for Bonvern Valley
