Digging to the roots: Poetic Form and the Natural World
Minnesota Landscape Arboretum
Cosponsored by Writers Rising Up
Follow the wheel of the year with us in this four-workshop series. Each season, writers will meet to read classic and contemporary poems and do creative exercises, focusing on a different poetic form each time—odes and elegies; villanelles and sestinas; dramatic monologues; and sonnet—and exploring that form’s metaphoric equivalent in the arboretum: ephemerals, perennials, invasive species, and seeds. After having come full circle, writers will celebrate the chapbook, grown over our year together, with a reading and wine reception. Part of each workshop will be spent journaling outdoors; please wear weather appropriate clothing and bring a journal and favorite pen.
