Winter Words - Home as Habitat

We often think about nature as something that exists ‘out there’ or in ‘the wild’. But nature is all around us, especially for those lucky enough to live in the Adelaide Hills.

In this workshop, we’ll explore local flora and fauna and how our homes and backyards function as part of a larger ecosystem. Combining ecology with our observations of life in the Hills, we’ll craft nature poems that intertwine the human and non-human worlds.

Using writing exercises and poetry prompts, this workshop will delve into how the biological inhabitants of our local landscapes interact with each other and let what we learn about our unique ecology infuse and deepen our poetry.
