Nicole Sealey talks with poets Donika Kelly and David Baker about birds, the 19th-century naturalist John James Audubon, and the exhibition "Lyric Birdscapes" at The Jule Museum. As a poet-in-residence at The Jule, Sealey commissioned Baker and Kelly to write new poems for The Jule in response to a print by Audubon for the exhibition "Lyric Birdscapes" (on view August 19, 2025 through July 2, 2026). "Lyric Birdscapes" pairs works by Audubon with both contemporary and historical poetic responses, inviting visitors to question the symbolic and cultural meanings we ascribe to the natural world.
