Planetary Elegies: A Poetry Workshop with KP Kaszubowski
Fee: $45/$38 members
Registration: Registration is closed. You may be interested in Planetary Elegies: A Poetry Workshop, Saturday, September 14, 2024, 1-3:30 pm.
In this workshop, we will read and write elegies – the poetic form for reflection and lamentation of the dead and the dying. These elegies will often focus on our planet and will just as often celebrate and grieve our brief lives on our planet. Part climate grief circle, part creative development, this workshop is a container to feel deeply and to find language for what might be difficult to express.
Our workshop will begin in Artist-in-Residence Jenna Knapp’s labyrinth. We begin with gentle movement through the path of the labyrinth made in the prairie on Lynden Sculpture Garden’s property. Then, the participants will be welcomed into the second floor art studio for the remaining time.
Workshop guide KP Kaszubowski will lead participants in welcoming, playful, and contemplative writing prompts. Participants will be encouraged to share what they write and affirming feedback and discussion will be woven throughout.
