Summer Workshop Program 2023
Wonder. Wander. A naturalist’s attention to the world can enhance any writer’s eye for detail. This poetry workshop is geared toward increasing our capacity to experience and express wonderment through the rich intersections of observation, knowledge, movement, and memory. We will wander toward wonder through readings, natural history focused walks, writing assignments, and conversations. Expect to spend time each day outside, in all weathers (hats, sunscreen, water, insect repellent). We can adjust our destinations based on desire and mobility.
