HH SUMMER CLASS Online:  Cascadia Field Guide

Class: Writing with the Cascadia Field Guide

Instructor: Sierra Nelson Class Description: Dive into the poems and naturalist insights in Cascadia Field Guide: Art, Ecology, Poetry—learning about fascinating creatures and plants living in "Cascadia" (Alaska to California, land and ocean). Then we'll generate our own writing (open to any genre) using in-class prompts inspired by the readings and diverse authors. Your writing can connect to any ecosystem; you don't have to live in Cascadia. You'll leave this class with deepened wonder, new drafts, and a reinvigorated creative process. (Open to all levels of previous experience.) https://hugohouse.org/product/writing-with-the-cascadia-field-guide/   Dates: Saturdays in August (Aug 5th to Aug 26th), 4 sessions total

About the Cascadia Field Guide: “Have you ever been so filled up with the wonder of a place that it wants to spill out as a song? Well, here is the songbook. I imagine walking through a forest and pausing to read these illuminating pages aloud to a listening cedar or a dipper. There are field guides that help us to see, and to name, and to know; Cascadia Field Guide does all of that and more. This is a guide to relationship, a gift in reciprocity for the gifts of the land.” – Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass
