Poetry that Blooms and Binds

Spring is in the air and with it, the opportunity to bloom creatively. Together we’ll examine contemporary poems that celebrate, as Mary Oliver called, “the brisk and shallow restlessness of early spring” and craft our own pieces grounded in the wild, changing beauty of the season.
