Poetry 3 -5 PM Event by Benjamin Heim Shepard Mayday is for poems… a rebirth of wonder, stories, heartbreak, hope, chaos, yearnings, liminal times in between this, season and something else, this life and the next. With the death of Lawrence Ferlinghetti and the opening of Spring, let us usher in the gods of words and anarchy, reimagining poetry as insurgent art. Bring a poem of your own or a friend, maybe a snack, a flower or an a hope for something abundant this spring. We’ll be by the old treehouse, reading and lounging about. Join us. xo Join us for a public space party on mayday and every day.”.
