"What Do You Stay Alive For?" Poetry Reading & Conversation with Maya Williams

Fort Sumner Park, Portland, ME

“Swish in the mush and gush of the journey to your destination!” This and other blossoming wisdom planted by Maya Williams carried us through a breezy afternoon of poetry and conversation about what we stay alive for.

Thanks to Maya for their words, Jenny Ibsen for these postcards, and everyone who came and held the space for each other to sit in 🌹

Thank you to our friends in the community who helped make this event possible! Flowers from Bumbleroot Organic Farm; vases from Plant/Office
