In this workshop, participants will explore eco-feminist poetry and women's roles as stewards of nature, responding to ecological challenges through writing.

Women and nature are often linked in many traditions and works of art. For example, the earth can be described as a woman figure with metaphors like "mother nature" with "fertile soil," emphasizing women's roles as stewards of the land. In this one-hour workshop, participants will explore eco-feminist essayist Susan Griffin’s concept of “Nature seeing nature,” engaging with work from poets like Lucille Clifton, Mary Oliver, Chloe Honum, Camille Dungy, Joy Harjo, and Naomi Shihab Nye, who explore women’s relationship with nature. In parallel, participants will dive into specific ecological concepts that encourage the community to consider: What does it mean to be a steward of the land? How do we respond through poetry to contemporary ecological challenges? These readings and discussions will include writing prompts to help participants discover their poetic voices.

While this workshop is focused on women's topics, all are welcome.

Paper and writing utensils will be provided.
