Fly an Anthology of Poetry

Did you know reading can help save butterflies?

Fly is an anthology of poetry with four contest winners and over fifteen contributors. The book was composed with the goal to help butterflies, more specifically monarch butterflies, thrive. Milkweed is the only plant that monarchs lay eggs on and that monarch caterpillars eat. Due to pesticides and development, their habitat is declining, which threatens the monarch population.

Within this slim book, readers will find NEW poems and NEW poets. There are different forms of poetry, including haiku, concrete, free verse, tanka, sonnet, and acrostic poems. All of these work together to bring you closer to the butterflies and to assist in donations to organizations that support these beautiful creatures.

milkweed plants, and help the planet

than we give them credit for."

-Linda M. Crate

"Be proactive, be the spark.

Let''s help the magnificent Monarch!"
