poetry walking in New York…
November 7, 2011
If you’ll be in New York over the weekend of November 12-13, 2011, slip over to the New York Botanical Garden to view Poem Forest, A Self-Guided Walk Designed by Jon Cotner. To create this poetry walk, “Cotner has fused lines selected from 2500 years of nature poetry with Thain Forest’s autumnal landscape. At 15 spots along Sweetgum Trail, visitors will speak, sing, or variously engage with 15 lines that encourage them to see and sense more clearly, to inhabit the present more deeply, and to fill with enchantment over the course of this walking meditation.”
On the other hand, if you’re fortunate enough to be in the Pacific Northwest on November 12, please consider participating in one of the two terrific poetry workshops being offered in Bellingham to benefit the Sue Boynton Poetry Contest.
