Writing in the Wild
04/11/2026 - 05/09/2026

Join us to read, write, and discuss a variety of nature-related stories, memoirs, and poems. Gain further appreciation for the ways that nature can inspire and infuse our own writing. Works like Wild by Cheryl Strayed and the poetry of Mary Oliver will be read out loud together and then used as sources of inspiration from which to create new work. During the semester we will spend time reading, writing, and sharing what we’ve written. We will also meet for short nature walks and write outside when weather allows. This class will demonstrate ways of accessing nature—in a cerebral way, through reading and writing, and in a physical way, by taking advantage of Kalamazoo’s local preserves.
