Evocative Nature: Writing in Response to Wildness

Join award-winning poet and teaching artist, Holly Wren Spaulding, for a day-long poetry writing workshop in which we’ll consider the natural world and our place within it by using creative exercises to tune our awareness to the parklands that surround our studio, learning from the likes of Corman, Niedecker, Hirschfield and Basho. Bring a notebook, and join the conversation about how to respond as writers and nature lovers, to our beautiful and changing natural environment.
