Join us for a plen air haiku writing workshop at the Gilley as part of “Haiku & Hope: 50 States of Climate Change,” as part of Readig with Wings which is an occasional series co-hosted by the museum and the library. This workshop will be taught by writer and filmmaker Maggie Dewane, the author of "Haiku & Hope." The book includes two haiku for each state, one inspired by its present and the second in an imagined future affected by climate change. The workshop runs from 1:30 to 3:30pm. It is free, but registration is required.

This is the second part of Reading with Wings: Haiku & Hope. Ms. Dewane will start at the library on Tuesday, June 17 -- the day before the workshop -- at 6 pm with a poetry reading and a discussion about “Haiku & Hope.” The author hopes the juxtaposition of the two poems about each state will spark dialogue. The book also includes a narrative section that delves into the author’s personal journey and the moments of inspiration that led her to write each poem. Registration is required. Admission is free.
