A favourite poem to share.
We will share poetry in a covered, outdoor setting next to a restored pioneer home. After touring the house and learning from the costumed interpreters on site, we will listen to each (willing) participant as he or she reads a favourite poem. This is a beautiful place to share poetry as we will be on the land of an Icelandic farmer & poet.
