Part of the Karl Stirner Arts Trail’s Poetry in the Wild Project, the fun took place on Thursdays evenings in June. Most of the poems were six words long. (See the photo gallery below.)
Riker, who coordinates the project, got warmed up in May when she created six-word poems (or slightly longer) for visitors at the Arts Community of Easton Studio Tour.
Other upcoming Poetry in the Wild events:
- Wednesday, July 1, 4:30 p.m., location TBA – “Or We Could” poetry workshop with Ross Gay, register: info@karlstirnerartstrail.org
- Saturday, Nov. 28, time/location TBA – Ross Gay reading and project
Last Friday, at its Grace Gate tunnel, the arts trail hosted a “Room for Error” listening party with Yolanda Wisher, former Philadelphia Poet Laureate.
