Mid-Coast Audubon: “Notes from the Hummingbird Corridor: Poetry, Prose & Planting for Pollinators” with Deb Soule

The Mid-Coast Audubon‘s series of nature talks in partnership with the Camden Public Library continues on Thursday, February 19, at 6:30 PM in the Picker Room with a presentation on Notes from the Hummingbird Corridor with Deb Soule.

In October of 2021, a month after the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds left her gardens in Maine, herbalist and author Deb Soule felt a compelling nudge. The hummingbirds asked Deb to follow their eastern migration route south the following autumn. Without hesitation, she said yes, and asked her friend, poet Laura Brown-Lavoie, to join her.

Join us in person at the Camden Library to hear about Notes from the Hummingbird Corridor, a record of their pilgrimage, following these small birds on their thousands-mile migration journey, and connecting with fellow humans along the way. Through poetry, prose, and practical gardening advice, Deb and Laura offer readers an invitation into relationship with these iridescent interdimensional beings who whiz from bloom to bloom across meadows, mountains, and the Gulf of Mexico.

“How lucky that the cross-pollination of Deb Soule and Laura Lamb Brown-Lavoie’s thoughtful, caring, curious minds and hearts has sprouted this beautiful book. Cohesive and innovative, Notes from the Hummingbird Corridor is a wonderful reminder that wisdom can be found and carried in so many differently-shaped vessels—poem, prayer, essay, seed, hummingbird, cross-country roadtrip. I am so moved by this multi-modal collaboration, which is as splendid to read and look at as it is to learn from.”
