Youth Workshop | Adventures in Poetry: A Nature Writing Workshop with Margaret Young

Ages 8 – 12, participants must be accompanied by their grownups

In this Sunday afternoon workshop, students will create poems inspired by nature. With the gardens and woods of The Mount as our classroom, we’ll explore different poetic forms and strategies, writing our way from soil to sky and back again. No poetry writing experience necessary; be sure to bring your imagination. 

Margaret Young’s poetry collections include Blight Summer, How Else Can We Know What’s Beautiful?, and the forthcoming The Water Bear. She has taught drama, creative writing, and ecopoetics in settings ranging from preschools to graduate programs. Young is on the faculty of the Global Center for Advanced Studies and lives in Beverly, Massachusetts.
