Paris, France - Stephanie Bolster writes, “If a city can be a muse, Paris is perhaps my most significant. Unlike many, I had no great expectations of the city before arriving there, so was utterly entranced by its blend of extravagance and ruin. The menagerie in the Jardin des Plantes, arguably the world’s oldest public zoo, is one of the zoos in which I’d least::text like to be a resident creature but the one that has yielded the most poems for me, in part due to the tension between the exquisite – yet often badly worn – ornament of many of its structures and the cramped, dirty conditions in which their residents find themselves. Of the zoos I have visited, it seems to be the one to which the most people come alone.”
