Roundtable
Mary Linton (1954 – 2021)—former WWA Board Chair, wetland scientist, and poet—founded this annual session in 2014 to provide a poetic interlude in the midst of the conference’s scientific presentations. Join us to honor her memory as Mike Mossman, Lisa Hartman, and Tod Highsmith read poems by various authors of swamps and fens, turtles and frogs, rushes and redwings.
"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
