February Poetry In Place

Join us at 9am on February 28th for Poetry In Place, a monthly workshop engaging and archiving our relationship with the Trinity River.

Poetry In Place is a project documenting the relationship of residents of Dallas with the Trinity River, one of the main geographical features motiving the placement of the city when it was founded. In monthly workshops, attendees will explore the river and record their experience based on prompts by Teaching Artists Lisa Huffaker and Joe Milazzo, with additional insight provided by a guest contributor. In February, we’re excited to welcome Jake Poinsett, the Education Manager at the Trinity River Audubon Center.
