This may be the single most relevant-to-my-blog thing I have ever linked to. It’s not often you find writing and botany in the same link. But here’s one. Found via Sandra Gail Lambert, a poem about kudzu!

I know! Writing and botony and, for me, the art that looks like woodcuts. I so love woodcuts. One of my best used book finds is “Suwannee River:Strange Green Land,” a 1938 book by Cecile Hulse Matschat. It’s a travelogue of her journey from the Okefenokee Swamp down the Suwannee to the Gulf. It is filled with woodcuts.

I have to say, I could not be nearly as kind to kudzu as the author of the poem is. I’m an invasive species person — kudzu is The Enemy, along with cogongrass and climbing fern and a hundred other weeds bent on world domination.
And that book sounds very interesting. I’ve always wanted to paddle the whole Suwannee. Someday!
