Writing Through the Seasons - Summer (four sessions)

“There are not enough jam jars to can this summer sky at night. I want to spread those little meteors on a hunk of still-warm bread this winter.”

from Summer Haibun, by Aimee Nezhukumatathil*

Alison Cable, the LitSalon’s expert in Writing for Wellbeing, is offering Summer, the third in her series of four seasonal workshops: Writing Through the Seasons.

Poets have long celebrated human connectedness to the seasonal cycles of nature — from winter’s retreat and reflection, to the hopes and blooms of spring, to the bursting brightness of summer, to autumn’s shifts and preparations.

Please note, this workshop is for self-expression and generating ideas rather than literary development.
