Join us at the Kalamazoo Nature Center to read, write, and discuss a variety of nature-related stories, memoirs, and poems. Gain further appreciation for the ways that nature can inspire and infuse our own writing. Works like Wild by Cheryl Strayed and the poetry of Mary Oliver will be read out loud together and then used as sources of inspiration from which to create new work. During class we will spend time reading, writing, and sharing what we’ve written. We will also take short walks and write outside when weather allows. This class will demonstrate ways of accessing nature, in a cerebral way, through reading and writing, and in a physical way, by taking advantage of the Kalamazoo Nature Center in our own backyard.
