SoundCore Exchange: Poetry Workshops
Tidepools and Inkwells: with Emily Van Kley and Oly’s Poet Laureate Ocean
Join us from 4:30-6:00pm on November 7th at the Puget Sound Estuarium for an exploration of attention, senses, and deep time poetics; each of us will come away with a few poems inspired by the local waters of our beautiful Salish Sea! Come write with the anemones!
These free workshops are for anyone interested in the arts to write, read, and learn about the community’s shared care for our beloved environment.
What to Bring?
A pen, a notebook, and your curiosity!

Oyster, Osprey, and Orca: with Kathleen Byrd
Join us from 4:30-6:00pm on November 21st at the Puget Sound Estuarium to learn about estuary poetics and then share and write about the more-than-human-world of our home estuary: The Salish Sea. We’ll read estuary-inspired poems, share our own estuary images and stories, and write together. Each participant can expect to leave with a poem draft, a packet of estuary poems, and a deepened connection to our community and to our estuary.
