Soaking in the Soil, the Use of Landscape in Poetry and Creative Nonfiction: By using selected readings as inspiration, we will look at how to effectively incorporate landscape into one’s poetry and creative nonfiction. The workshop and prompts will focus on exploring one’s connection to natural, rural, and/or urban areas. It will also look at how to use place as plot, reflection, and general inspiration.
Heather D. Frankland lives in Silver City, NM and teaches English Composition at Western New Mexico University. She is a reader for Mimbres Press and a steering committee member of the Southwest Word Fiesta. Her creative nonfiction essays have been finalists in Desert Exposure’s Annual Writing Contest and in Slippery Elm Literary Journal’s Prose Contest. Her poem, “Two Dollar Mangos,” was recently a semi-finalist for the Jane Underwood Poetry Prize of The Writing Salon. She is also really happy to be a new member of the River Poets group of Silver City.
