Poetry in the Park for this year is now a memory. Held earlier in March this year, our weather was glorious in Zion Park and uncrowded with no shuttles. We enjoyed having four students from Hurricane Middle School and their teacher Reuben Wadsworth as well as one student from Enterprise High School and her teacher Linda Jones as our scholarshipped attendees. Our visiting poet was Dr. David J. Rothman from Western State Colorado University. We greatly enjoyed his expertise and enthusiasm. Plan now to come next year. Details coming later. Other fun activities for the Spring Festival of Literary Arts included ZArts lecture, Chaparral Poetry Forum and Redrock Writers Seminar.
