Event Type
Do you want to influence the world with your writing? Are you passionate about climate justice? In this camp, Maine Climate Action Now and The Telling Room invite youth writers to craft their own climate poems.
We’ll find inspiration on the shores of Belfast harbor, in our own climate experiences, and in the work of poet activists. We’ll play with found poetry to transform the daily grind of climate news into beauty and powerful action, as well as look at how poets use voice, rhythm, metaphors, and other tools to surprise readers with new ways of looking at the world.
Crafting your own Climate Poetry workshop will go from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. from June 27-29 at the Waterfall Arts Center in Belfast. For ages 14 – 30, free with stipends available! Deadline to sign up is June 12.
