Nature writing is the opportunity to connect in new ways with the natural world. For centuries, writers have composed poems, stories, essays, and journals to explore, celebrate, and analyze nature. Through writing, we form what we want to say and, by saying it, we learn about ourselves, about others, about plants, and about the world. Together we will explore creative exercises and inspiring texts to have fun with words and our thoughts and insights in a guided, friendly natural environment. Bring your notebook or journal. These workshops are open to writers of all levels. Classes meet on April 30, May 7, June 4, and June 11, from 1:00 to 3:00 PM. You may register for one or all classes; please complete registration for each session you wish to attend. This class depends on receipt of a grant; check back in early spring for information and to register.
