Zoos are ripe for this sort of interdisciplinary learning; many zoos already have poetry installations throughout their exhibits.
In fact, five zoos across the United States have partnered with various organizations and poets-in-residence to create intentional poetry installations: New Orleans, Louisiana; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Little Rock, Arkansas; Jacksonville, Florida; and Brookfield, Illinois.
