About the event
‘I think calling it climate change is rather limiting. I would rather call it the everything change.’ — Margaret Atwood
This course is designed for poets who want to engage in sustained poetic attention to our transforming planet. Over four weeks, we’ll explore different approaches to writing, workshopping, editing and publishing poetry that pays close attention to our natural world, its cycles and its shifts. Together we will explore poetics encountering the ways climate change is redrawing our lives and landscapes through the work of poets writing in Ireland and internationally.
Course Outline
Over the four weeks we will workshop participants’ original poems. Alongside this, we will collaborate around close readings of poems, and participants will be led in creative exercises for generating new work.
Course
OutcomesWriters receive feedback on work-in-progress, come away with freshly drafted poems, and discover new approaches to climate writing.
