Nature has inspired countless writers and artists and played a key role in many literary movements, from Transcendentalism to SLAM poetry. This class will examine these movements and their nature-based connections so that we may draw upon them for our own creativity. Class participants will use body movement as a source of creativity, find their own corners of nature to sit in and write from, and participate in small group work.
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.
