Tulsa’s 2nd Annual Poetry Walk

 

Saturday, April 14th, 2012

2:00 – 4:00 p.m.

The Oklahoma Centennial Botanical Garden

 

Join Nimrod and the Oklahoma Centennial Botanical Garden on Saturday, April 14^th, for Tulsa’s 2^nd Annual Poetry Walk. A celebration of April’s National Poetry Month, the walk will take place at the Botanical Garden from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

 

The one-and-a-half mile walk will move through the Osage forest, across the prairie and through one-hundred-year-old persimmon groves. Walkers can listen to poems performed along the trail, read the poems on our haiku tree, and stop to write their own. This year special attention will be paid to young walkers, with each stop featuring several poems for children. Additionally, fourth graders from McClure Elementary School and members of the Sapulpa High School Poetry Slam team will offer special readings in the persimmon grove. A mini-walk of one-fourth mile is also available.

 

A reception will follow the Poetry Walk at 3:45, with music, food, and libations to quench the thirst and appetite of walkers and non-walkers alike, along with a performance from Nimrod’s 2012 Spring Issue: “The View from Here.” The entire event is free and open to the public.

 

For directions, we recommend that you follow the information given on the Garden’s website: www.ocbg.org/MapDirection.html.
