Meet our 2026 Keynote Speaker Aimee Nezhukumatathil, NYT best-selling nature writer, poet and essayist

“Nezhukumatathil’s poems contain elegant twists of a very sharp knife. She writes about the natural world and how we live in it, filling each poem, each page with a true sense of wonder.”

—Roxane Gay

 “The word poet means to make… You don’t have to necessarily make with words, you can make a pie, you can make a sketch. I feel like if you are actually intentional about making things in your life…you’re making a little bit more beauty in the world.”

―Aimee Nezhukumatathil

“Aimee Nezhukumatathil’s poems are as ripe, funny, and fresh as a precious friendship. They’re the fullness of days, deliciously woven of heart and verve….Poems like these revive our souls.”

—Naomi Shihab Nye
