Description
Dr. Carr's Ecopoetry Jukebox is an interactive, electronic jukebox with twelve ecopoetic selections. During the workshop, you'll learn about how the Ecopoetry Jukebox works, why it was made, and how that matters to you and your own artistic practice.
This is a live, interactive workshop. Registered participants will receive a Zoom link to join the meeting.
Along the way, we'll explore a diverse selection of ecopoets, some living and some dead, some "canonical" and some "experimental;" we'll discuss how these poets are making homes in the medium of poetry (eco = home and poesis = to make); and we'll brainstorm strategies for writing our own ecopoems. Then, we'll play the Ecopoetry Jukebox together, using our selections to generate original creative work. We'll end the session with sharing, reflection, and prompts for deeper exploration.
This highly generative workshop is open to all levels of poets and writers, as well as folks who haven't yet identified themselves as poets and writers!
