A Workshop Celebrating Birds as Familiar and Unfamiliar Entities Through Poetry

  

Description: In this workshop, we’ll look at videos and photographs of birds to consider what we see that’s familiar, and what’s unexpected. We’ll try to find words for both sorts of observations, in poems that

both affirm and surprise.
