Explore to Learn: Poetry from the Land: Voices of the Field
Advertisement
Join acclaimed author and storyteller Joseph Bruchac, Saratoga Springs’ former Poet Laureate, and the city’s first to hold the role, for a poetry experience rooted in the beauty of Pitney Meadows. Drawing inspiration from the fields, forests, and shifting seasons, Joseph will lead participants in discovering how place can spark powerful, personal writing.
Open to ages 12 and up, this welcoming workshop is designed for all levels, whether you’re picking up a pen for the first time or returning to a longtime practice. FREE to attend, with a suggested donation.
Week Five: What stories might the land tell if it could speak? In this imaginative workshop, we’ll step beyond our own perspectives and write from the voices of the field… plants, pollinators, soil, and more. By exploring personification and point of view, we’ll deepen our connection to the natural world and create playful, expressive pieces of writing.
We encourage people to come to the whole six-part series to get the most enriching experience. This is not required, but suggested. Feel free to come to whichever ones you would like! Sign up via each FB event or on our website calendar www.pitneymeadows.org/events/calendar
