Q: What does a postcard image of place miss? A: Everything important. In this generative workshop we will look at sample poems by Jane Hirshfield, Jennifer Foerster, Karenne Wood, and N. Scott Momaday that convey the alive complexity of place. We will explore strategies to unlock and write the layers of our world including the mythic, ecological, historic, and personal. Participants will engage in writing exercises and create a bank of poem starts from prompts. As a group, we will experiment with joining persona voices to convey the community of place.
