Miller Poetry Series Wrap Up

Word Works had a successful partnership with the National Park Service as we teamed up to present eight programs from June 9 to July 28 in the Rock Creek Nature Center planetarium in Washington DC. We had a great mix of familiar audience and newcomers. Here are some images from the July programs and a poem written by Rhonda Williford who attended every program!

META-CONSTELLATION

The Word Works Graces

have tipped the bowl

of the night sky free

of humidity, light pollution --

to expotential stars,

skim of Milky Way creamed.

The Lyra held upright to strum

sound bright to twin the lights --

too various to connect all dots --

intimate as a lost love,

extraterrestial as the setting,

neither desert or the whale

neglected.  The poets drew

the pictures -- and the pictures

sang.  We sat under

the constellations, grateful

for the created

community of words.

--Rhonda Williford
