In this writing workshop, we’ll explore naturalist themes in the poems of Ross Gay, Mary Oliver, and others and write our own responses. No writing experience or prior knowledge of the poets necessary, just a willingness to be curious on the page. All adults are welcome to attend. Please bring a notebook and a pen.
Refreshments will be served!
