Writing Ecopoetry with Joanne Durham

$28 each session or $70 for all 3 sessions (March-May)

The term “ecopoetry” emerged as poets recognized the need to rethink how we respect and protect non-human life. We will read and discuss contemporary poetry that attempts, through a variety of approaches, to contribute to honoring and saving our endangered planet. We’ll spend some time each session drafting poems based on the models provided, with optional sharing.
