Before the year ends, write a poem! Once again Valerie Wallace will conduct a workshop in the studio:
Urban Naturalism: Poetry Workshop
Saturday, December 30, 9:30am – 12:30pm
Fee: $35, including handouts
The city and nature provide a useful tension for the poet; both dynamic, evolving, and inter-dependent, there is ample opportunity to explore with metaphor, narrative, form, and experimentation. In this workshop, we will use the concept of “urban naturalism” to read, write, and think about our relationship to our surroundings, the environmental forces in our lives, the visceral worlds of passion, survival, and human as animal. Emergent themes will include close
observation, the natural world, emotion, and the environment.
