A poem will appear from the soil for Nature Festival. Free and publicly accessible in the garden bed behind Bonython Hall at the University of Adelaide.
We've collected words from members of the public that respond to the climate crisis, and have then given those words to our commissioned poet, Gemma Parker, as prompts for the final work.
With greenery disappearing from our urban areas, we seek to enact a poetic revitalisation of local space, reveling in the dynamic connections between individuals and communities; hope and despair; and the patience required for growth in the face of pressing crises.
