Through poems spread delicately across the page, interspersed with images of the pressed flowers themselves, Poole's poetry gives voice to a meditative expression of flora. Each poem creates an individual cataloged world through which to explore the body, sexuality, strength, and a devout refusal to admit the separation between humans and nature. Inspired by the Billie L. Turner Plant Resources Center at The University of Texas at Austin, the largest herbaria in the Southwestern United States, \u003ci\u003eBright Specimen\u003c\/i\u003e weaves together a written index through the harmony of botanical wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulie Poole was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest.
