Description
Drawing inspiration from the migration of birds in Walnut Canyon National Monument, this workshop offers participants an opportunity to learn about birding from national park ranger Ryan Carpenter, then write about their observations in a poetry workshop led by poet Jodie Hollander. In addition to using inspiration from the beauty of the natural world around us, we’ll also study examples of celebrated poems that effectively capture the wonder and awe of the world of birds. We’ll discuss techniques such as metaphor, imagery, repetition, and sound as well as cover effective use of line breaks. No experience is necessary. Free and open to all.
Reservation or Registration: Yes
