Description
In this workshop, we will explore what it means to roam and carry one’s self through various landscapes as other life hibernates and briefly exits the winter season of stillness and big sleeps. What does it mean to live in a realm emptied and yet not devoid of life? How can this be a period of joy and discovery? We will reimagine the many awakenings possible in poetry, drawing inspiration from Keith S. Wilson, Camille T. Dungy, Chase Berggrun, Julia Salem, and more.
