of place in poetry.

About this Event

2nd Series - Poetry of Place - Crescent Beach Overlook

This workshop will focus on the significance of place in poetry. Place may be defined as a geographical location, an internal state, or perhaps a poetic meeting of the two. Using our remarkable surroundings as inspiration, this workshop will lead students through a series of writing prompts to ultimately create an original draft of a poem. In addition, the class will briefly touch on line breaks and the use of sound. No experience necessary.

Jodie Hollander’s debut full-length collection, My Dark Horses, was published with Liverpool University Press & Oxford University Press. Her second collection, Nocturne,

was also published with Liverpool & Oxford University Press in 2023 and was longlisted for the Laurel Prize in nature writing.

Hollander is the recipient of a MacDowell fellowship and a Fulbright fellowship in South Africa. She is also the originator of ‘Poetry in the Parks,’ in conjunction with several

National Parks and Monuments in the US.
