This month the Nisqually Indian Tribe and Long Live the Kings invite you to learn about a collaborative project, guided by local and indigenous knowledge to better understand Pacific herring in the Nisqually Reach.

Conversations with Sea Stars: An estuary poetry workshop with Cynthia Pratt
Join us from 4:30-6:00pm on October 24th at the Puget Sound Estuarium as we focus on naming what we know about the estuary—what is there but then writing a speculative poem about the future: What we hope for; what we fear; if sea life could talk to us, what would they say?

Join us on the 24th with the poet laureate of the City of Lacey, Cynthia Pratt!

All collected poems from these workshops will be compiled into a community-made zine that will be showcased December 5th at the Olympia Timberland Library 4:00 - 5:30pm.
