Presented by Steven Parlato

In this daylong workshop, poet/artist Steve Parlato will share poems celebrating the beauty of the natural world and addressing its increasingly fragile state. Parlato will provide participants with prompts to craft their own poems extolling nature’s gifts, while lamenting the damage done to God’s Earth.
