Nature has inspired countless writers and artists and played a key role in many literary movements, from Transcendentalism to SLAM poetry. As such, this class will examine these movements and their nature-based connections, so we may draw upon them for our own creativity. For additional inspiration, we will be in nature’s classroom, the great outdoors! We will share and write from the comfort of the Government Canyon Gallery, which provides an enclosed classroom wrapped in windows and a gorgeous 360° view of the surrounding woods.
