The Poetry Studio

2

The Poetry Studio in Marlboro, VT. (15 minutes from Brattleboro) is offering an After-School Program that weaves together Poetry/Art and Nature for young people. Classes are kept small in order to create an individualized, personal approach and a compassionate environment where participants are inspired to express themselves through poetry, a painting, a collage....

The studio is surrounded by many perennial gardens and woods; participants are encouraged to engage with a frog in the small pond, the medley of colors arriving in this new season; a "poetry walk" happens many times during an afternoon; a time when "devoted attention" (Mary Oliver ) is practiced toward some aspect of nature.

For students who are not yet comfortable writing, Ann acts as a scribe for their "poetry words."

To witness what young people are capable of, see our book, Another World: Poetry and Art by Young People from The Poetry Studio with a foreword by Chard de Niord, former poet laureate of Vermont.

Also visit our website where poetry and art are featured by students all ages - thepoetrystudiovt.com
See the Directory as well.

Classes begin at 3:30 and end at 5:45.
Snack is available for students who arrive early.

This is a nine week program.
