International Geodiversity Day Poetry and Prose Event
This International Geodiversity Day, we want to celebrate this connection through the art of poetry and prose. We call on local poets and writers to lend their voices and creativity to this global celebration by responding to Jersey’s unique geodiversity. Share your reflections on how understanding our past and valuing our heritage can help us as a community to better enjoy our Island. Tell us why you love Jersey’s nature and how it plays a part in your sense of identity and belonging. Selected works will be featured in a special poetry and prose reading night on Sunday 6 October 2024, 6pm to 8pm at the Jersey Museum.
Sign up for the our poetry and prose event here.
