Poetry in Motion

Poets and poetry enthusiasts of all ages are welcome to join in an Art Week celebration of the Hoosic River Watershed. Meet at Natural Bridge State Park (main parking lot) on Saturday, May 24 at 1:30pm. We will walk along Hudson Brook to the North Branch confluence and find poetic inspiration along the way. Writing prompts will be given in case you need or want them. And there will be time given to share your poems, phrases, or whatever the Rivers drew out of you. This program will last 1. 5 hours.

This workshop is free and open to the public and is made possible by a grant from the Cultural Council of Northern Berkshire, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. Please register HERE. Limited to 16 participants.

Your facilitator: Arianna Alexsandra Collins, Executive Director of the Hoosic River Watershed Association, is also a naturalist educator and poet with over 30 years teaching outdoor immersion experiences and community engagement. She has been facilitating quarterly Poetry Shares at her local library in Ashfield for the past several years.
