Join us for a night of poetry cultivating our collective urge to grow, tend, and help  launch the new poetry anthology Leaning toward Light: Poems for Gardens & the Hands That Tend Them. Alongside notable contemporary poets Robert Hass, Brenda Hillman, Forrest Gander, Jane Hirshfield, Genine Lentine, Brynn Saito, Maw Shein Win, Alan Chazaro, Katie Peterson, and others, editor Tess Taylor invites  gardeners, plant lovers, and readers alike to a magical night of poetry and music in the Redwood Grove.  Poems will be paired with live music by Steven Emerson & Son to celebrate this beautiful collaboration of some of most imaginative contemporary poets of our time. Tickets available here.
