South Hill

South Hill Large Meeting Room

Learn how to write nature poetry with Kristy Gledhill, MFA in partnership with Poetry in the Park.

Whether what catches your poet’s eye is an island in the sunset or a weed forcing its way through a fence, writing (and reading) nature poetry provides a way to connect with the world and perhaps make some sense of it… and of ourselves. 

We’ll spend time with a few nature poems, generate some seedling poems for ourselves and talk about where good nature poetry begins and ends. You’ll get a big juicy packet of prompts, poems and links to keep for your reference and inspiration. Paper and pens will be provided.

Poets will have the opportunity to submit their poems for consideration for Poetry in the Park. 

A follow-up workshop and poetry reading will be held in May. Contact Maureen Ricks Wildish (mwildish@pcls.us) for more information.
