Looking Closer: A Nature Writing Workshop

🌿 Discover the Extraordinary in the Everyday 🌿

Join poet and writer Kwame Opoku-Duku for Looking Closer, a workshop dedicated to exploring the art of nature writing. This session is for anyone seeking to deepen their connection to the natural world and translate that wonder into powerful, evocative writing.

Through guided prompts, discussions, and examples from renowned nature writers, we’ll explore how to:

  • Find inspiration in the smallest details of your environment.

  • Use language, imagery, and voice to capture the beauty and complexity of nature.

  • Weave personal experiences into universal ecological and social themes.

Whether you’re a seasoned writer or just beginning your creative journey, Looking Closer will offer a supportive space to slow down, observe deeply, and turn your reflections into meaningful work.
