of place in poetry.

About this Event

3rd Series -Landscape Poetry - Howland Hill Outdoor School

Drawing inspiration from the remarkable natural beauty around us, this workshop offers participants an opportunity to take in nature and turn their observations into powerful and vivid poems. In this class, we’ll study examples of celebrated poems that effectively capture the wonder and beauty of nature. We’ll also discuss techniques such as metaphor, imagery, repetition, and sound as well as cover effective use of line breaks. 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.
