Carl Little is the author of many art books, including Edward Hopper’s New England, The Watercolors of John Singer Sargent, and Irene Hardwicke Olivieri: Closer to Wilderness. His 2011 book Eric Hopkins: Above and Beyond won the first John N. Cole Award from Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance. He was awarded a Rabkin Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021 for his art criticism. His poems have appeared in many magazines and anthologies, and his most recent collection is Blanket of the Night, published by Deerbrook Editions in 2024.
In her NYT-bestselling book of essays and award-winning poems, Aimee Nezhukumatathil often explores the natural world, including whale sharks, fireflies, eels, dragonfruit, catalpas, monsoons, humans, and so much more. Using a variety of prompts and centering activities, including read-aloud selections from Nezhukumatathil's work, participants will explore their own astonishments and curiosities related to the world around us and how we move through it. Writers of any and all backgrounds and levels of experience are welcome!
This FREE workshop is a collaboration between the Camden Festival of Poetry and the MWPA. There will be ten of these workshops, each led by a different writer and happening during the winter and spring in locations around the state and on Zoom. Aimee Nezhukumatathil will be the keynote speaker at the Camden Festival of Poetry on May 12-16, 2026.
In the event of inclement weather on April 11, MWPA will be in touch with all participants via email, and the snow date for the workshop is April 18.
Free! Registration is required. Visit www.jesuplibrary.org/events/worldofwonders to register.
