  • Poetry Circle & Connect: The Peace of Wild Things

    ChesLen Preserve 1199 Cannery Road, Coatesville, Pennsylvania

    For as long as there has existed the written word, people have written about the natural world. To explore their connection with and deepen their understanding of it. To express an appreciation for its beauty and to raise awareness about issues that threaten it. To reflect on their place within the larger ecosystem that includes us all. Join us on the overlook hill at ChesLen Preserve (weather permitting) to celebrate National Poetry Month with an open share of nature-inspired poems. Share your own poems, the poems of others you appreciate, or simply listen.   This event will be one for conversation
