Taking a cue from Mary Oliver’s poem, “The Summer Day,” we will look to the outdoors for observation and inspiration. We will walk through fun and fresh looks at poetic forms to record what we see, perfect for both beginning and experienced writers. This will be a generative workshop with tips on how to keep journaling long after the workshop is over.

Co-Sponsors: With Nebraska Writers Collective and Lincoln Parks and Recreation
