Graveyard Poetry Workshop
October 26, 2018 @ 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM • $5
In this workshop, we’ll make collages and found poems using grave rubbing techniques, assembling poems out of the language we find all over the cemetery. Part seance, part poetry workshop, we’ll see if we can get the dead to tell us something!
Our guide will be Nevada poet Jared Stanley at the Mountain View Cemetery. Supplies fee is $5.
