Exploring the Art of Show & Tell: Writing poems of nature and human nature

 

When we enter the natural world with a pen in our hands, there’s an invitation to notice not only what is happening all around us, but what is happening inside us. The practice of writing poems can a bridge between these two worlds. In this 2-hour playshop, we’ll read poems by some of the finest nature poets of our time that balance sensory detail (show) and emotional/intellectual observation and wonder (tell), we’ll talk about how they work, write poems of our own, discuss process, and have a chance for optional sharing.

 

Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer co-hosts Emerging Form (a creative process podcast), Secret Agents of Change (a surreptitious kindness cabal) and Soul Writer’s Circle. Her daily audio series, The Poetic Path, is on the Ritual app for your phone. Her poetry has appeared on A Prairie Home Companion, PBS News Hour, O Magazine, American Life in Poetry, and Carnegie Hall stage. She has 13 poetry collections, including Hush, winner of the Halcyon Prize. The newest is All the Honey. She’s been writing a poem a day since 2006 and she shares these on her blog, A Hundred Falling Veils.
