Denise Lach has written a book, Calligraphy: A Book of Contemporary Inspiration, in which she incorporates the contours of natural elements in creating letter shapes. Taking a page from her book, I experimented further with my poem: “Walk along the edge of the wilderness. Sometimes you need to get lost before you are found.”
