Riverside Poetry Walk with Poet Max Stone

Nature has inspired poets for as long as humans have sung, spoken, and written – and few places are as inspiring as the banks of the Truckee River. Take a stroll with a local writer as they share their poetry and guide us through the process of writing our own.

Our guided Poetry Walk begins at Brodhead Memorial Park. While we stroll along the river, we’ll notice the water, flora, and fauna. Bring a notebook and pencil – and come join us in this most human of art forms! No experience needed, just a desire to reflect and create.
