"My Garden, My Daylight": Nature Poems by Jorie Graham (2-part class)

Jorie Graham is one of the most important poetic voices of the last fifty years, often noted for her long-line style, abundant presence of thought, and persistent reference to the natural world. In this class, we’ll take a look at differing perspectives on the ‘nature of nature’ in Graham’s poetry, and engage in a short session of freewriting to finish the class. This class is a 2-week series on Tuesdays June 4 and 11.
