Poetry in the Anthropocene with Grace Wilentz
|
This workshop is designed for writers who want to engage in sustained poetic attention to the ways climate change is redrawing our lives and landscapes. Participants will consider and discuss a poem about our natural world, its cycles and its shifts. Following this, they will spend time in An Gáirdín, gathering inspiration before being guided in writing an original poem. Expect to come away with a new poem, and discover creative ways of uniting art & action.
