Poetry of the Land and Waters

Sunday 13 October | 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Age: 8 - 14

Poetry allows us to see and understand the world in new ways, and to use language as it has never been used before. We’re lucky to have a venue which bridges the space between land and water, the in-between habitat of the intertidal zone and the landscape/waterscape of mangroves. We will explore this through observation and poetic exercises.

$100. NSW Creative Kids vouchers are accepted.
