Versed in Nature: Hiking Northwest Illinois and East Iowa State Parks

“White green moss grows
between copper, gold, and tan weathered lines drawn by
centuries of settled sediment
cut away by weather.”

Come along with Jodie Toohey as she hikes some of the trails in eastern Iowa’s and northwestern Illinois’ state parks. Part guidebook, part memoir, this collection of park descriptions and poems will take you on a beautiful, nature-filled journey through the Midwest and mid-life.
