The Friends are hosting free in person writing workshops with Troy Hess, the founder of On the Yahara Writing Center. The writing workshops will start Tuesday January 11th. Troy will lead two classes.
January- Eco-Poetry: Following W.S. Merwin at Pheasant Branch Conservancy
Class 1: Tuesday January 11- 10:30 to noon
Class 2: Tuesday January 18- 10:30 to noon
Lauded as one of the most important poetic voices of the last half century, W.S. Merwin had cultivated a uniquely spiritually-tuned voice concerned always with the state of nature, time and human perception. This class will be at once a conversation revolving around topics of ecology, eastern spirituality and poetic technique.
Participants will meet with Troy via Zoom.
These classes are funded by the Friends as part of our celebration of the 25th Anniversary!
