Calling young poets everywhere—Earth needs you!
Join poet Greg Santos to explore our complex connections to our unique planet. This pale blue dot is the only home we earthlings have. With climate change affecting nature and the world around us, how can we as artists depict humans’ complex relationship with the planet?
Try out VSEAL’s 1-hour online writing workshop on Ecopoetry, a type of poetry that focuses on our place as living, breathing, and constantly evolving beings in the natural world. Led by Montreal-based poet, Greg Santos, young poets are encouraged to sign-up to create their own original poems with an emphasis on ecological themes and messages.
Greg Santos is a poet, editor, and educator. He is author of Ghost Face (DC Book, 2020) and several other poetry collections. He regularly works with at-risk communities as a creative writing instructor. He is the Editor in Chief of the Quebec Writers’ Federation’s online literary journal, carte blanche.
