Observe the splendor of the park’s autumn palette of Rockefeller Park while listening to poetry. Join poet and naturalist Dr. Jonathan Curley for “Odes to Autumn,” a poetry walk celebrating the arrival of fall with poems, revels, songs, and ballads among the fallen leaves. Colorful lyrics will be recited throughout the journey, from John Keats to Ella Fitzgerald, ending by the Lily Pond near engraved poems by Mark Strand and Seamus Heaney. 

Concurrently, artist Elise Engler will be distributing colored pencils, oil pastels and drawing pencils for participants who want to sketch. The workshop will call attention to the dramatic changes of colors in nature, particularly at this time of year. All ages welcome.
