About SoundCore Exchange: This fall, the Puget Sound Estuarium is hosting 3 free poetry workshops thanks to support from the Community Foundation of South Puget Sound. Attendees will have the opportunity to express their unique estuary experiences through poems and other creative works under the guidance of professional poets! Workshops are led by Cynthia Pratt, Emily Van Kley and Oly's Poet Laureate Ocean, and Kathleen Byrd. After these 3 workshops, there will be a culminating SoundCore Anthology event hosted by the Olympia Timberland Library. Everyone is invited to attend to welcome back workshop leads and attendees to share their work aloud. Plus, there will also be a compilation of all the works submitted in Zine format for people to take home.
