Excited to be part of the Hemlock Poets for this show. We immersed in the hemlocks together, wrote poems, workshopped together, supported the writing process and one another, and finished our hemlock infused poems in just a few weeks. They have been printed as large broadsides 20”x40” to be hung in the gallery amidst the visual art. .leisha

In collaboration with non-profit Wild Alabama , this Forest Bathing immersion is a day-long session in an amazing rock shelter in the Bankhead National Forest. The hike in is about 1/4 mile - steep downhill going in and uphill coming out, but not too tough really. Forest Bathing guide Anne Markham
