The Song of the Ash

In this workshop Chris Poundwhite guides us through the ash woods of North Kent to connect with the ash that remains.

Sat 1 July 2017, 10:30 - 1:00 pm

Shorne Woods, Gravesend

Ash trees are dying, and our landscape is changing as a result. This ecopoetry workshop faces that reality head on, and asks how we respond to the situation. One answer is to connect with what remains. After a guided walk through ash woodland, we will work on creating poems that explore ash tree ecology and respond to the trees in a direct, sensory way. In doing so, we will enhance our individual relationships to ash trees, which make up such a huge part of the landscapes that surround us, and which may soon be gone.
