Poets and poetry enthusiasts of all ages, let the Hoosic River Watershed be your inspiration for poetic expression!
Meet at Natural Bridge State Park parking area outside the gate at 9:30am. We will walk up from the Hudson Brook – 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 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. Please register at: https://forms.gle/pnwCcxahuhf6Tza2A
