The ice cover at Green Lake’s east beach was inpenetrable (by kids and dads hurling rocks and chunks of ice), but the rime at west beach could barely support a couple ducks, let alone scare off seven poets. Check out the Poetess at Green Lake’s full summary of Saturday’s second annual Poetry Polar Bear Plunge. Big thanks to John Cornicello for sharing his photos with us. Grab something warm to drink and scroll all the way down for the video:
