The poetry reading series, Poets Read in the Garden, came into being last year during the height of the COVID pandemic when we were all wary of being inside for any events. The community gardens became an essential space for artists, poets and writers to gather to share good words and energies in a safe outdoor space.
The Pacific Street Bears garden inaugurated their space with readings and then recruited the Greenspace@President Street as another perfect spot for poetry to be read out loud.
This is what a positive non-monetized space for our communities looks like.
Poetry belongs in the gardens.
