[. . .] What we have to do is live in a way that lets us find them.” Poems or stories may be hiding near you right now—in newspapers and magazines\, or in historic documents a few clicks away. Whether you collage fragments from many documents to make a found poem\, discover a poem floating up from a single source text\, or use documents as a spark for a story\, come prepared for creative play. After seeing how poems can emerge from documents\, in this case\, poems that tell the story of Richmond’s elusive Progressive-era philanthropist and educator\, Grace Evelyn Arents (who bequeathed land to the city that’s now Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden)\, we’ll mine new work from creativity-inspiring documents related to River City history and then share what we’ve found or invented. \nDate: Thursday\, April 20\, 2017 \nTime: 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm \nLocation: Patrick Henry Pub\, 2300 E Broad St\, Richmond\, VA 23223 \nPrice: Free \nSPEAKER \nWendy DeGroat  \n \nWendy DeGroat’s poetry has appeared in U.S. and U.K. publications\, including Rust+Moth\, Raleigh Review\, and Mslexia.
