Poets Talking To Trees with WordXWord

Poets Creating Conversation

November 19, 2022

2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

WordXWord calls to poets and friends to participate in their November event at The Mount:

The theme/prompt/provocation is Talking to Trees. Pick a tree or trees, real or imagined, and talk to it; or about it. You’re the poet--figure it out!

This is a “moving” event--taking place along forested paths. We’ll walk together from poet/location to poet/location, and, with a little luck, the exercise will keep us warm.

Poets Creating Conversation is an ongoing series of events that invites and challenges poets to circle loosely around a theme or issue in the current social discourse to create a broad, multi-dimensional “conversation” between poems, poets, and audiences. By sharing personal stories, observations, challenges, moments of inspiration, and hope, we weave a tapestry of creative voices that makes us stronger and helps us individually and collectively navigate the way forward.
