In this generative writing workshop, you'll have the opportunity to observe various species of birds and generate ideas for and drafts of your own poetry. We'll read examples of poetry that uses bird imagery and/or bird behavior to explore human emotions and issues. We'll then go for a trail walk, noticing the birds that surround us: what they look like, what they're doing, how we can see ourselves in them, how our presence affects them. Participants will have the opportunity to spend time exploring on their own and responding to themed writing prompts. Then we'll reconvene to share our experiences: what we wrote, observed or thought about.


This workshop is open to writers with any or no previous experience-all are welcome!
