About this Event
In trying times, poetry and music bring people together. Join Nia Pearl for one-of-a-kind outdoor poetry workshops inspired by the physical environs of Yerba Buena Gardens. A gifted teacher and charismatic performer, she leads participants through hands-on activities centered on observing, reflecting and writing in response to the nature around them. All ages and skill levels are welcome. Stay after the workshop for the free concert and draw inspiration from the music.
