WXW Poetry sCrawl

May 17, 4P

The Mount / Edith Wharton’s Home
2 Plunkett Street, Lenox
Free

Poets take us on a freewheeling exploration of the Mount's grounds with stops along the way to share their original work.

This is a walking/stopping event where we all (audience and poets) walk together with stops along the way to share poems. Walking shoes are strongly advised.

Poet (or soon to be poet) interested in participating?.

Note to poets: This is a walking/stopping event where we all (audience and poets) walk together with stops along the way to share poems. The suggested center point for this event is INSIDE OUT. You’re free to circle around as you see fit. Got questions? Ask.

We long ago learned that there is no predicting how the outside world and/or which life experiences and challenges will insert themselves into the conversation. That’s the magic sauce that makes WXW work.

WordXWord events are FREE and open to all, however, some poems may contain content or language best suited for teens and adults.
