We love to write about our seas and landscapes. Yet now our taiao is wildly-threatened and it’s all been said before. So how might we keep it vital? Join award-winning poet and teacher, Gail Ingram, as she shares some contemporary nature poems from her recent collection anthology (n.) a collection of flowers to highlight different stratagems of form and layering meaning to explore 21st-century concepts such as colonisation, climate change, art and family. She will give exercises to help put these ideas into practice.
