EcoPoetry in Idlewild: A writing workshop inspired by nature
Over the course of 5 weeks, we will dive into the captivating world of eco-inspired poetry, examining the wonders of nature and channeling our thoughts and emotions into expressive verses with instructor Emily Hockaday starting July 22nd at 1 p.m.
Emily Hockaday’s ecopoetry collection In a Body comes out from Harbor Editions in October 2023. She is the author of Naming the Ghost and six chapbooks. Emily writes about where nature and urban settings intersect, parenting, and chronic illness, among other things. www.emilyhockaday.com
