earth magic by christopher luna version 2 edit

Poetry provides a way to explore our universe and document this process of discovery. We will read poets who have engaged with nature and complete a series of writing exercises. There will be an emphasis on mindful observation and real-time tracking of our daily movements. We will also discuss the role that observation and research play in building a body of reality-based work with the potential to engender compassion, understanding, and progressive social action. No writing experience necessary.

Please bring a bag lunch, water, pens, and paper.

Tuition: $88
Online Registration

Testimonials:

Darlene Zimbardi had the following comments about her experience in Christopher’s poetry and memoir writing classes: “I love taking classes with Christopher. From the moment you walk into the room, you see and feel his passion for literature. His zest transfers to his students. It doesn’t matter where you are on your writing path, he encourages and challenges you. Christopher holds a safe space for writers to share their work.”

Rae Latham, a writer in Christopher’s Monday morning workshop at Multnomah Arts Center, comments: “Christopher is the poetry alchemist who helps us discover gold.”
