The Nature of Poetry

Uptown Stories, Inc. @ 178 Bennett Ave, New York, NY

The word “ecology,” comes from the Greek word iokos, meaning house. Ecology is the study of our home. In "The Nature of Poetry," participants will observe and record our natural home, finding the poetry in the world around us. In addition to reading and writing poetry, we will explore, discover, and create pocket-pals, fairy dwellings, drawings of natural objects, and use all our senses to connect with nature through artistic expression and imagination....

Poetry at The Met Cloisters

Uptown Stories, Inc. @ 349 Cabrini Blvd, New York, NY

Want to spend time with unicorns, jewels, tombs, and all things medieval? Ever look at a painting and find yourself spinning an epic story behind it?

Snobby Poetry

Uptown Stories, Inc.

We welcome you to Snobby Poetry, should you be up for the challenge. We’re a self-motivated, uber-supportive band of misfits who read, write, and share poems. We love words, rhyme (only when used sparely, thank you), observation, and Walt Whitman (obviously.) Poetry is an illogical measuring device, filled with seemingly impossible comparisons and instructions; that is why we are called to write it. We are the liars who tell the truth. If...
