Writing the Environment: "Through the Garden's Dormant Splendor" with Jane Wong

"... Walk through the garden's dormant splendor. Say only, thank you. Thank you." – Ross Gay, "Thank You"

We will delve into the layers of environmental writing, in the face of drastic environmental change and disaster. In our time together, we will generate new pieces inspired by questions such as: what is “nature poetry” and how can we decolonize and decapitalize what this looks like? What is our relationship to nature, to landscape, to place, to ecological history, to environmental justice, to speculative ecofutures? And, how does one's own lineage and experience of the environment echo one’s formal enactments on (and beyond) the page?

This class is a 1-day (2.5 hours long) craft class on Saturday, January 27th from 2:00 PM–4:30 PM ET. This craft class is open to all writers of color.
