I’m a Treaty 1 territory/Winnipeg-based writer, editor, and enthusiast. My most recent books are Treed: Walking in Canada’s Urban Forests (Wolsak & Wynn, 2019) and TreeTalk (At Bay Press, 2020). I’m the ringleader of Writes of Spring, a National Poetry Month project in collaboration with the Winnipeg International Writers Festival and the Winnipeg Free Press .
What TreeTalk-ing looks like!
What does it mean to slow down and pay attention to the natural world? What lives there with us? In this creative writing workshop, we will closely observe nature with a particular focus on trees.You will come away from this workshop with new nature-writing techniques to use in your writing practice and a sheaf of new writing. Your work will receive feedback from Ariel and be workshopped with the group.
