NATURE IS QUEER: WRITING WITH THE NATURAL WORLD
In this one-day writing workshop we’ll look at the relationship the natural world plays in our creative lives. We’ll read through a number of prose and poetry excerpts, respond to prompts, and go on a forest walk through Lost Lagoon for writing inspiration. All genres and levels welcome.
