Poetry in the Parks: Poetry of Grief and Healing (Crissy Field)

Parks Conservancy

Register for this free workshop, where you’ll create an original poem inspired by Crissy Field and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

Led by acclaimed poet Jodie Hollander, the Poetry in the Parks: Share Your Voice workshops invite participants to slow down, observe the landscape, and create original poems inspired by their personal connection to Crissy Field and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. No poetry experience is necessary.

For centuries, poetry and art have helped people give shape to grief, pain, resilience, and healing. In this workshop, participants will read selected poems that engage difficult experiences with care and craft, then use guided writing exercises to explore poetry’s capacity for reflection, transformation, and connection.

Registration is required. Workshops are free and limited to 25 participants per session. Participants are encouraged to bring a notebook, pen, comfortable layers, and a willingness to explore the park through words.
