The Sundog Poetry Center is happy to announce a one-day poetry writing retreat at Fielder Farm in Huntington, VT. Theme: Poetry & the Environment Participants in this retreat will have the opportunity to explore poetry and the environment from various angles: social justice and nature poetry, plant-human communication, the changing landscape of the environment through both celebration and elegy, ecological poetry, and nature-themed visual poems. Workshop leaders will provide a packet of poems and resources, writing prompts, free writing time, and two small-group workshops to provide feedback on the two poems that each participant is invited to submit by August 9. There will be time to walk around and enjoy the stunning Fielder Farm grounds, to take a dip in the pond, and to share a short social hour at the end of the day. Please bring writing utensils, and if you’re artistically inclined, any art supplies that you would like to have on hand; as well as anything else you will need for your comfort (sun hat, picnic blanket, swimsuit, etc.). The retreat will still be held, under tents, in the event of rain: in the event of a thunderstorm we will postpone to the rain date and provide refunds if needed. Workshop Facilitators: Rebecca Starks, Chard DeNiord, Frances Cannon, Neil Shepard, and Mary Jane Dickerson Please plan to bring your own bag lunch. Light refreshments will be provided.
