About this event:
Mary Russell and Gerard Wozek will debut their new poetry video, The Book of Green, which entices the viewer to develop a closer relationship with the forces of nature as it reveals elements involved in the process of nature journaling. They will also present several student poetry videos reflecting on themes of nature.
