Just because a poem is small doesn't mean it can't be all the things a longer poem can be: surprising, moving, teaching, beautiful, funny, joyful, strange-the list could go on forever! We’ll go on a trail walk to observe and connect with nature and then we’ll write some micropoems. Participants will have the option of incorporating art into their work and making their mini-poems into wearable pinback buttons. This event will be partially outdoors, so please dress according to the weather. Experienced and beginner poets/artists welcome!
