SoundCore Exchange: Poetry Workshops

About this event

Express your unique estuary experiences through poems and creative literature under the guidance of professional poets! Oyster, Osprey, and Orca: with Kathleen Byrd Join us from 4:30-6:00pm on November 21st at the Puget Sound Estuarium to learn about estuary poetics and then share and write about the more-than-human-world of our home estuary: The Salish Sea. We'll read estuary-inspired poems, share our own estuary images and stories, and write together. Each participant can expect to leave with a poem draft, a packet of estuary poems, and a deepened connection to our community and to our estuary. What to Bring? A pen, a notebook, and your curiosity! SoundCore Anthology December 5th, 4:00-5:30pm at the Olympia Timberland Library All collected poems from these workshops will be compiled into a community-made zine that will be showcased at this free event!
