Mary Linton, former WWA Board Chair, scientist, and poet founded this session at our annual WWA science conference in order to explore wetlands in poetry. Mary died in 2021 of Alzheimer's disease. This year we will be reading Mary's poems not only about wetlands but also those that honor her full life. Mary's poems speak to the complexity of our lives and to our relationships to each other and to the watery earth. We invite you to join us in celebrating Mary's life and legacy through her poetry in this special session. "Sandhill cranes fly over then a small flock of geese, beaks pointed south Let's face it- We all are lost until we drop to water and our big flat feet soften the blows" --Mary Linton, September 2016
