About “Last Poet in the Woods”

“Last Poet in the Woods” is inspired by the contemporary classic Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. Through the vibrant colors, expansive landscapes, and wooded trails in these watercolor paintings by Reefka and the poems written in response to them by Professor Schneider, this ekphrastic exhibit inspires a positive and salutary encounter with the natural world.

For this special presentation Professor Schneider will discuss the literary traditions of ekphrasis and eco-writing as well as the social, pedagogical, and ecological goals of “Last Poet in the Woods.”
