Join us on June 8, 2025 from 4-7 PM at Mapes Creek for a community poetry postcard gathering! At the mouth of Mapes Creek, we will gather with a postcard collage table, food and an open mic for reading
postcard poems. This is a casual poetry postcard event, so we would appreciate if any participants would be able to donate materials for the collage table, such as old magazines, glue, scissors, empty postcards, etc. Food will be served potluck-style, so bring your favorite dishes and snacks along with a postcard poem or two to read at the open mic! Seating is limited, so bring a chair. Jim O’Halloran will play flute there along with vibraphonist Susan Pascal. Join us to prepare for the 2025 Poetry Postcard Fest & help us celebrate our favorite little urban stream.Read what Ashley Townes is doing to help it here.
