Poetic Crossings | Back Then, Tomorrow

Tourism Drawing on the title of Peter Coyote’s book of poems, this year’s iteration of Poetic Crossings leans into the notion that what unfolds on the ridge today is inseparable from what came before—and from what may yet come.

Time here is not a straight line but a cycle: what was can return through remembering, through discovery, or, at times, through complete collapse. Price: Free. Phone: 5307180727.
