The afternoon begins in the Visitor Center where Stephen Wing will offer signed copies of his book Wild Atlanta, which features his epic poem about Woodlands Garden, “After Speaking Too Loudly in a Quiet Place.” The poem will also be available in chapbook form, along with Wing’s newly released collection, Washed in the Hurricane. The Visitor Center is currently hosting a show of water color paintings by Jessica Lily, who will be painting live during the book signing.
Visitors will then be invited to take a very short walk through the woods to the Woodlands Pavilion, where they will be treated to live poetry by Wing, a talk by Luz Wright about the photographs in Wild Atlanta, and a musical performance by Elise Witt & An Impromptu Glorious ChorusTM. After the performance, participants will once again be welcomed in the Visitor Center to view the paintings, purchase books, mingle and socialize.
Wild Atlanta: Greenspaces & Nature Preserves of ‘The City in the Forest’
Atlanta poet Stephen Wing and photographer Luz Wright celebrate the city’s many hidden pockets of wild nature in this lush coffee-table book, the product of Wing’s seasonal “Earth Poetry” workshops throughout the metro area for over a decade. “Finally, Atlanta’s urban forests receive the tribute they deserve with this blend of inspiring poetry and radiant photographs,” says high school science teacher Mark Yates of Decatur.

Elise Witt & An Impromptu Glorious ChorusTM
When the pandemic shut down singing in enclosed spaces, Atlanta singer Elise Witt started holding her singing workshops in the Pavilion at Woodlands Garden in Decatur. Current workshop participants will join Elise singing songs inspired by the beauty of the 7-acre wild space, and even the audience may, at moments, find themselves part of An Impromptu Glorious ChorusTM!
