Reflections on Little Eagle Creek

Reconnecting to Our Waterways Little Eagle Creek Committee + Brick Street Poetry, Inc

ABOUT THE POETRY PROJECT
ROW and Brick Street Poetry want your input for a poetry anthology on the role Little Eagle Creek and its tributaries play in our lives. We invite you to share your experiences with this Northwest Marion County waterway. If you have not had the opportunity to visit yet, we hope you take the opportunity to visit and observe this rambling stream by using the map provided here.

In addition to sharing your comments, you are welcome to submit poem for inclusion in the anthology. Not familiar with writing poetry? We invite you to join one of the Indianapolis Public Library’s online workshops lead by Indiana Poet Laureate Emerita Joyce Brinkman. Look for the workshops at the Eagle and Pike Branch Libraries or on the Library’s county-wide calendar.

More information about the anthology and deadlines will be posted on Brick Street’s Facebook page later this month - www.facebook.com/poetryonbrickstreet/

Enjoy the creek!
