This workshop, led by writer Rebecca Timson, includes three, three-hour sessions. It is suitable for writers of poetry, fiction, or literary non-fiction who are interested in biological, cultural, and philosophical variables informing a sense of place.
- Each session will include 30-60 minutes of time spent in guided walking and observation in the Arboretum, with camera and/or notebook for recording observations.
- Each session will then include 30-60 minutes of related reading and discussion. The instructor will provide short reading choices in poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. The goal is to broaden our conception of writing about place.
- Then the instructor will offer prompts which might inspire individual work during the next 30-60 minutes of generative writing. Participants may choose to write in their preferred genre.
- Time will always be saved for sharing work, with community guidelines for respectful and engaged response to the work of others.
Come prepared to walk outdoors in any weather. Bring your favorite notebook and pens, and maybe your cellphone if you want to make quick audio/visual observations while we're walking.
Schedule: 3 consecutive Saturdays, March 7th, 14th, & 21st, 1pm-4pm
