"Nothing is so beautiful as Spring –," wrote Gerard Manley Hopkins, "When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush..."

Of course the poets have always been in love with spring, when flowers bloom and warmth returns. In this workshop, we'll read, write, and talk about spring. We'll examine some techniques that poets use to vividly describe springtime sensations and implications, including E.E. Cummings, William Wordsworth, and Mary Oliver. We'll also experiment with writing about springtime in our own ways, with exercises designed to help us get deep into our sense memories and present-moment sensory awareness of seasonality.
