Wind in Our Branches: Writing Ekphratic Poetry on the Theme of Trees 

Picture
Event Date(s): Saturday, March 12, 2022, 10:00 a.m. to Noon   
Location: Room 204 & 205, Utah Cultural Celebration Center 
Free Admission 
​

An ekphrastic poem is a vivid description of a scene or, more commonly, a work of art. Please join Utah Poet Laureate, Paisley Rekdal, as she engages our thoughts, imaginations, and motions in a workshop focused on writing poetry on the theme of trees. Participants will be encouraged to respond to artworks presented within the Tree Stories: A Breath of Fresh Air exhibit, or to seek inspiration from the natural areas along the Jordan River just beyond the gallery 

For more information, contact Susan Klinker at

Marian Howe-Taylor - The Beloved Community Project
Marian Howe-Taylor grew up in Boston, and raised in a family that was active in the Black civil rights movement, starting in the early 1960’s. In the following three modules, students will learn how Marian uses storytelling, film, and poetry in her activism.  Her stories of black heroes round out our history books. With love and humor, she finds allies, and starts important conversations in her effort to build a “beloved community”– one that is civil, equitable, and harmonious.
