Join Brandon Keim for World of Wonders, a multi-genre workshop.
In her NYT-bestselling book of essays and award-winning poems, Aimee Nezhukumatathil often explores the natural world, including whale sharks, fireflies, eels, dragonfruit, catalpas, monsoons, humans, and so much more. Beginning with Nezhukumatathil ‘s work as inspiration, participants in this workshop will be given some ways to explore their own astonishments and curiosities related to the world around us and how we move through it. Writers of any and all backgrounds and levels of experience are welcome!
