Salon Gathering Series: Writer's Workshop #2

Sunday, May 18, 2025 | 2pm-4pm

Let the beauty of the 1860s stone barn and the surrounding flora inspire your writing.

Surrounded by nature, mentor Professor Laurence Carr will lead a writing and sharing workshop focused on the natural world and the growing trend of eco-poetry. 

The workshop will also explore how writers can effectively present their work in public, with a discussion and practice of basic oral presentation techniques. Additionally, participants will take part in a guided free-writing session.

Larry will share insights from Lightwood, the magazine he edits, which features a wide range of writing on the natural world.

Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just starting out, this workshop is a great way to connect with others—and with nature—through meaningful expression.

Artisan Granola parfaits, Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies, coffee, and tea will be served to fuel your creativity.

What to Bring:

• A poem centered on nature or ecology (your own or another writer’s) — no longer than one page
• Four printed copies of your chosen piece
