The Poet's Toolbox: Writing about the Natural World
Adult Enrichment / Writing & Literature -
Spring 2025
Nature has long been a source of inspiration for poets. We’ll explore poems by Mary Oliver, Ada Limón, Ross Gay, and others, using their work as a springboard for our own writing. Through in-class exercises and supportive group discussions, you’ll develop poems that range from close observations of the world around you to broader reflections on seasons, weather, and the intersection of human life and nature. Whether you’re new to poetry or looking to deepen your practice, this class offers a welcoming space to create, share, and refine your work.
