Poet and nonfiction writer Lee Chilcote will be your guide as you explore poetry and personal essays with a focus on nature and the environment. Analyze selections from nature writers who make a connection between their lives and the environment, complete a writing exercise, and get helpful feedback and tips on your writing. The group will also take a short hike. Open to writers of all levels and abilities.

This program is brought to you in partnership with The Nature Center at Shaker Lakes.
