My poem is live on the Silverwood Poetry Audio Tour
Art on Foot | Silverwood Poetry Audio Tour
Thrilled to have a poem live on the Art on Foot Poetry Audio Tour at Silverwood Park! My piece is titled "Dog Day Cicada Afternoon," and I wrote the first draft while walking through the park on the very trail it's posted on. (Which is where I first learned that there *is* such a thing as a "Dog-day Cicada.")
Poetry is amazing, art is amazing, nature is amazing, and when you combine all three... 🤌🏼. Honored to be in poetic community with the other featured poets, A. E. Wynter, Louise Waakaa’igan, Kira Bunkholt,
, and Keng Xiong.
Poems will be highlighted during a free event at the park this weekend, Saturday, September 13th, from 12-4 pm:
Field Trip: Art and Nature Festival
Bring your family and join in the 16th annual celebration of arts and nature at Silverwood's Field Trip event! Enjoy live outdoor music from artists Paper Chain and *splash!*. Shop work from local artists with Minneapolis Craft Market, take part in art and nature activities for the whole family led by Silverwood educators and much more! Drop in anytime.
Link to get tickets (not needed, it’s a free drop-in event, but maybe you’re a person who likes to get tickets to things 🤷🏼♀️)
Silverwood Park (part of Three Rivers Park District)
I have a previous engagement but that sounds amazing. I will make sure to reshare this.
The poems will be up in the park for like 6 months - so you don't have to make the event on Saturday to see / hear 😊.
