We are bringing poetry to the petroglyphs in celebration of National Poetry Month - and our very special guest is the incredible Natachee Momaday Gray! There will be a short open mic before the featured artist, and we will have light snacks available. Please join us under that huge blue New Mexico sky, with an incredible backdrop as we share poems and community.
We are encouraging poems that speak to the earth, climate, geography, place, nature or finding where you fit in this world, but any theme or topic is allowed, although we ask you to be conscious of the fact that this is a family space, with children nearby.
About Your Featured Artist:
Natachee Momaday Gray is a Santa Fe native and indigenous poet/performer/musician.

She holds numerous awards including the Lena Todd award for poetry and recently was nominated for the Pushcart Prize, Best of Small Presses. Her debut poetry collection, Silver Box from Finishing Line Press, has garnered praise and esteem across the board. Some new creative ventures include a second poetry collection, a cookbook, a delve into a new chapter of cooking and curating, and "Homesteading", A new mother, she spends her time alchemizing in the space between life and art and dreams. Always creating and collaborating. She lives on a small farm with her family in Coyote, NM.
