Poets have long been drawn to nature. In this class, we’ll study work that is in conversation with the natural world as well as the intersections of poetry and ecology. We’ll engage in writing experiments inspired by what we learn. Participants will leave with new writers to read and several new poems of their own.

Please bring something to write with—A notebook or several loose sheets of paper.
