Petrichor’s Child:
Within and the Written
Petrichor: a pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after warm, dry weather. It happens when raindrops hit the dry earth.
Petrichor has to have the exact right events to create a specific event, as the brain needs the right assortment or events (or none!) to create a thought into a poem. This workshop has the opportunity to have conversations and talk to create an atmosphere for creativity. It’ll be an open workshop to bang around ideas and talk about creativity and the origin of poems and then to do some writing and talk about the experience. The workshop meets on the second Monday of the month at 6.30 at Portland Arts Collective.
