Land & Listen Spring 2024
2
Land & Listen is a monthly gathering at the Duke Campus Farm for reflection and relaxation. Each gathering begins with conversation around a short piece of environmental poetry by black, eco-feminist, and LGBTQ+ poets. The loosely-facilitated poetry discussion will be followed by unstructured time on the farm: do crafts, harvest flowers, cartwheel on the grass, walk around the farm, and take time to decompress after the week. This program offers space for folks to engage with meditative prose, the land, and each other.

During the spring 2024, there will be three Land & Listens on Fridays from 4:00-5:30 pm with the following poetry themes:
4
February 23rd: Black Nature
5
March 22nd: Eco-feminism
6
April 26th: Queer ecology

This program is open to all in the Duke community. No background in poetry or experience at the farm is necessary. We welcome everyone. Sign ups are encouraged so we can get a head count for planning but no one will be turned away. Special shoutout to DCF’s former food and environmental justice associate, Abijah Gattis, for his amazing work in setting the stage for this event. For any questions, including carpool opportunities, please reach out to Mira (mira.polishook@duke.edu or 310795472).
