Poetry in Motion

Poets and poetry enthusiasts of all ages are welcome to join in Poetry in Motion, a poetic celebration of the Hoosic River Watershed. Meet at the Bellows South Trailhead parking area in Greylock Glen, Adams, MA on Saturday July 26 at 9:30am. We will walk the trail to Peck’s Brook and find poetic inspiration along the way and at the brook. 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 River drew out of you. This program will last 1 hour.

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. Limited to 16 participants. Click HERE to register (or use the QR code in the graphic.)

What to bring: footwear that can get wet, insect repellent, water bottle, portable sit-upon, paper/journal & pen/pencil.

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.
