Poetry Workshop With Laboni Islam in High Park
Spend a winter afternoon immersed in poetry at the Nature Centre and in High Park. We’ll read and discuss poems attuned to ecosystems and then head out for a guided nature walk through the park, responding to poetry prompts along the way. We’ll write both outdoors and in the warmth of the Forest School. You’ll have the opportunity to share your writing, and give and receive feedback in a supportive environment. Experience how poetry can cultivate attention, care, community, and deeper connections with the natural world of which we are a part.
