NanLeah has supported the generative, healing powers of IPM’s Year of Poetic Medicine Programs since 2018. She’s excited to be explore the fifth year of Poetry of Nature and is honored to be a part of IPM’s mission of awakening soulfulness in the human voice.

Pluviophile, poet, photographer, self-taught naturalist, NanLeah weaves her hobbies together to know and be known by Nature as it unfolds in her “neck of the woods,” the temperate rain forest of the Olympic Peninsula. For the last 25 years, she’s sent roots deep into the dance of plants, animals and birds that share their home with her.
