Nature Poetry Workbook
Push the limits of your poetry practice with this fun poetry workshop exploring nature themes.
Themes cover:
- The Sea: write a reverberating villanelle inspired by the rise and fall of the ocean
- The Forest: write a dramatic monologue from the perspective of your favourite tree
- The River: embody the river and let it retell an old story you hold about yourself
- Ecopoetry: use your political voice to tell nature’s plight
Each theme contains three Bake Off-style challenges:
- The Mini Challenge: a warm up designed to get the juices flowing
- The Technical Challenge: write in poetic form or structure
- The Epic: do your best work. Write and rewrite and edit and edit and write some more
The point of the exercises is to push you out of your comfort zone. There is no perfectionism here, just trying new things and writing about topics you love.
The workshop is delivered as an ebook so you can work through the tasks at your own pace.
Download now to get your creative juices flowing and start producing the technical poems I know you’ve been avoiding.
