Landscape Art and the Poetry of Place

From Jesse Curran:

"In this immersive workshop we will generate poetry through beholding visual art that represents the Long Island landscape, which Walt Whitman so deeply loved. Through this process, we will consider what landscape painting offers in inspiring the poet's practice as well as deepening one's relationship to place."
