Community Engagement– Saturday, October 10, 11:30am FREE at the Jemez Springs Public Library. Kathleen Willard will lead a Poetry Workshop

Kathleen Willard describes herself as having a “lifelong obsession with creativity, writing, publishing and reading poetry”. Willard currently is a professor at Colorado State University, Front Range Community College & University of Northern Colorado.

During her residency at Mission Street Arts, Kathleen will continue her work on “The Wolf Dossier”. This polyphonic, hybrid text will incorporate current news, examine Colorado’s wolf reintroduction plan, share scientific findings, and address misinformation about wolves. It will also include citizen testimony from the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission Public Comment Sessions and the residents of Jemez Springs.

This project is supported in part by New Mexico Arts, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs, and by the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional support provided by Friends of the Jemez Springs Public Library.
