This three-part summer writing workshop series will explore the various ways in which nature writers across multiple genres (fiction, nonfiction, and poetry) write about natural environments. One half of each class will be devoted to studying eco-writing that celebrates interconnectedness and beauty; that worries over ecological destruction and climate change; and that calls for community and personal action to preserve and conserve natural spaces. The second half of each class will be devoted to student writing. Working from prompts, students will compose their own eco-pieces and receive feedback from the instructor and their classmates in a workshop setting. We will pay particular attention to the concepts of “writing local” and how writers, at any stage in their writing journeys, can contribute to the growing body of eco-lit. Please note that your ticket reserves your spot for all three sessions.  Brookgreen Gardens, Ron Daise Auditorium, 1931 Brookgreen Dr. Wednesdays, 10 a.m. - noon. $60.
