Poetry and Nature

Sunday, July 19, 2015
10 AM Community Room

Sophie Wadsworth

A journey through poetry of nature and spirit. Sophie will read poems of the natural world: about gardening, wild animals, and wry reflections on being human, Sophie will share words from poets ranging from Basho and Keats to Mary Oliver and Billy Collins. Poetry may deepen our spiritual life, and our spiritual life may deepen our friendship with words. We’ll take time for reflection and sharing responses…

[Sophie has taught writing and creativity to students of all ages, most recently as Adjunct Professor at the UMass, Lowell. Author of a collection of poems, Letters from Siberia, Sophie works with naturalists and
lop-eared rabbits at a non-profit, The Nature Connection.]
