From Larksong Writers Place website:
Coyote, industrious scavenger and alert opportunist, has much to show us about creative writing. Deeply revered by some and equally despised by others, who knows more about dealing with critics, or finding a way when the way appears blocked? We will learn more about this remarkable animal and use coyote wisdom to launch writing that is surprising, ingenious, and durable. This is a generative workshop, where we will be producing new drafts together each week, guided by exercises that make it easy to get started. We will also be visited by local and national experts for educational components about coyote behavior and the need for good practices to achieve coexistence.
This workshop is part of The LoHi Series, writing workshops that utilize the Loess Hills and their inhabitants as inspiration for writing that is deeply connected to the natural world.
Participants will be invited to an optional online session outside of class time where we present excerpts from our workshop, titled “Beyond Howl: Poetry and Prose with a Coyote Theme.” Public invited.
