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.
