"Our Poetic Tribute to Amelia Earhart"
This poetry tribute was produced by Broward County, Florida Poet-in-Residence Anastasia Clark, who worked for a year bringing awareness, readings and workshops around South Florida. The collection is showcased at the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum, in Atchison, Kansas, and at other Museums and Libraries across the country, including our Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale Museum. The heirloom quality album features three original artworks by Shae Leighland-Pence and the works of 42 emerging and established poets with 49 poems from South Florida, California, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia and Utah. The collection was launched on April 2012 at the NASFL Museum. This Online-Only Exhibit was curated by NASFL Museum volunteer Lauren Crawford, a University of Florida student.
