Konza Tallgrass Prairie Haiku

Konza Tallgrass Prairie Haiku, by poet, photographer, and neuroscientist Judith Lauter, offers an introduction to some of the wonders of the Konza Tallgrass Prairie preserve located south of Manhattan KS. Part of the beautiful Flint Hills region of northeast Kansas, Konza is a treasure trove of hills and valleys shaped by creeks that contribute to the watershed of the Kaw (Kansas) River. Through photos and poems, the author guides us to a greater appreciation of this area, beginning on the banks of the Kaw, and then following a tributary creek to a trail that wanders through a gallery forest, up a hill bright with prairie wildflowers, and finally to a lookout where we find more flowers, a monarch butterfly on its migration, and a breathtaking Flint Hills sunset. Endnotes provide information about Konza prairie, including facts about the plants and animals shown in the photos.
