Tacoma Tree Foundation : Ode to the Trees of Tacoma

December 7, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

FREE

Tacoma Tree Foundation invites you to join Seattle based writer and translator, Wendy Call for the “Ode to the Trees of Tacoma” workshop December 7th from 5:30-7:30pm. Enjoy a talk about iconic Tacoma trees, savor poems about trees, and even write your own ode to trees. No experience with poetry is necessary; all are most welcome!

The trees of our cities and towns are some of our most faithful and steadfast neighbors. They continue to grow and flourish (if we care for them) as generations of people grow up and grow old in the houses they shade, as our built environments are transformed around them, and as our climate changes.

Hot cocoa and warm beverages will be provided.

Los árboles de nuestras ciudades y pueblos son nuestros vecinos más leales y constantes. Si cuidamos de ellos, crecen y prosperan a la par que nosotros crecemos y envejecemos en las casas y edificios que resguardan con sus sombra. Permanecen constantes aun cuando construimos nuestros desarrollos urbanos a su derredor, y a pesar del cambio climático.

En este taller, la escritora y traductora Wendy Call nos invitará a conversar sobre los árboles icónicos de Tacoma, disfrutaremos de varios poemas inspirados en los árboles, y escribiremos nuestras propias odas a los árboles tacomeños.

No es necesario tener experiencia previa con la escritura de poemas. ¡Todxs son bienvenidxs!

Habrá chocolate caliente y bebidas de temporada.
