Poetry Reading at Fort Nisqually Oct 15th at 2pm
On Saturday, July 16, I participated in a workshop titled Place and Persona facilitated by Tacoma Poet Laureate – Josie Emmons Tuner. The free workshop examined the writing of poetry from the viewpoint of an imaginary person. Participants explored Fort Nisqually [which is within Point Defiance Park] and the surrounding area of the park… then wrote and shared draft poems. Oct 15th starting at 2pm, participating poets from that workshop will read their work in the Great Room.
