Light My Song: An Observational Poetry Tour at Mount Auburn

Join docent Rosemarie Smurzynski on July 20, at 10 am for a poetry tour of the Cemetery visiting the graves of Mount Auburn’s best-known observational poets Caroline Frances Orne, Robert Creeley, and Amy Lowell. Hear some of their poems read aloud and be inspired to write your own! Throughout the tour, attendees will be encouraged to notice and experience the landscape around them and note their sensory observations.

Attendees will be allotted time at the end of the tour to compose their own poems with an invitation to share with the group. No previous writing experience is required. Check-in will be outside Story Chapel. Event Capacity: 25
