SUMMARY:Nature Speaks: Staying Rooted with Plant Poetry

Drawing inspiration from poets like Ada Limón\, Mary Oliver\, and Emily Dickinson\, we can use language to cultivate interconnectedness\, strengthening compassionate ties between our daily lives and the natural world. After the talk\, a generative writing workshop will take place throughout the garden. Attendees need not be experienced poets. They need only bring their creativity and curiosity! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP is encouraged but not required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5:30–6:00 p.m. – Staying Rooted with Plant Poetry presentation with Kristin Emanuel in Farr Auditorium \n\n\n\n6:00–8:00 p.m. – Attendees will walk through the Garden for a generative workshop\, visiting the following: \n\n\n\n\nClimatron\n\n\n\nArid House\n\n\n\nLinnean House\n\n\n\nJapanese Garden\n\n\n\nEnglish Woodland Garden\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE FACILITATOR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKRISTIN EMANUEL holds an MFA in poetry from the University of Kansas where she studied eco-fabulism and the comics poetry movement.
