About SoundCore Exchange: This Fall the Puget Sound Estuarium is hosting 3 free poetry workshops thanks to support from the Community Foundation of South Puget Sound. Attendees will get to express their unique estuary experiences through poems and creative literature under the guidance of professional poets! Workshops are led by Cynthia Pratt, Emily Van Kley and Oly’s Poet Laureate Ocean, and Kathleen Byrd. After these 3 workshops there will be a culminating SoundCore Anthology event hosted by the Olympia Timberland Library. Everyone is invited to attend as we welcome back our workshop leads and attendees to share their work aloud. Plus there will also be a compilation of all the works submitted in Zine format for people to take home.
