On December 21, we will experience the shortest day and longest night in the Northern Hemisphere. Afterwards, we are given longer days of light. Celebrate this shift with poems of gratitude to the natural world.

Davis will provide a variety of poetry prompts inspired by contemporary poets. You’ll walk away from this workshop with a new stack of drafts for a new season. This workshop is appropriate for all levels of experience.
