Forms & Features Online with Bethanie Humphreys AT CAPACITY

All are welcome to a poetry discussion and creative writing workshop, “The Scientific Lens: An Exploration of Science-Inspired Poetry,” created and led by Bethanie Humphreys. No prior experience in science or poetry is required. Just bring your curiosity! 

In this session, we will climb various branches of science considering potential applications to poetry along the way. We will discuss ways poetry might benefit from a scientific lens, read some science-inspired poems, and do a little in-class writing. After the workshop, you will have access to additional reading materials and prompts designed to help you continue your explorations into the many ways science can enrich your writing practice.
