Romantic Sensibility – Scriptorium of Nature

With Tom Hirons, and John Higgins

In this workshop we explore how to write with nature, in the style of the romantic poets but contemporary to our times. We look at  how the beauty of nature, landscapes and vistas, forests and mountains, can move us into such ecstasy that we are compelled to write. We will look at how this arises within us, how we make the shift in a conscious way and how we catch poetry, prose or song infused with these moments as they arise.

“Therefore am I still
A lover of the meadows and the woods
And mountains; and of all that we behold
From this green earth”
Wordsworth 1798

This is the second of six workshops included in the Nature Scriptorium Online Writers Circle.
