Oh - the intensity of this evening. Thank you to all for making us feel deeply and share the grief, spirituality, loneliness, joy, and longing tonight. It was incredible.

This week we saw the completion of two amazing art installations in Stony Plain featuring the poetry of some of our member poets. 2 haiku are now spraypainted around Red Brick Common , and 6 haiku are around the Stony Plain outdoor pool and spray park, and the Stony Plain baseball diamonds near the pool.

Heartfelt thanks to our partners and sponsors for this project, to the poets who submitted their writing for the competition, and to the local artist/poet who thoughtfully brought each one to vibrant life. I can't find tags/accounts for everyone involved, so please let me know if you need to be tagged!

"Seeding Poetry." Over the past two weeks, members were invited to submit short form poetry to a contest for a special project. The submissions were anonymized and reviewed by a panel, and 4 poems have been selected and printed on sunflower seed packets. We'll be sharing these seeds with strangers around Edmonton, Stony Plain, Spruce Grove, St Albert, and probably elsewhere through the month of June. Thank you to everyone who submitted!
