Writing Workshop Bewilderment by Richard Powers
Jessica J. Bloodsaw will lead a writing workshop titled "Emotional Ecosystems: From Forests to Galaxies" at the University Place Library, examining how emotions are influenced by various environments. This event is part of the Big Read initiative, which features Richard Powers' book "Bewilderment" and aims to foster discussions about environmental truths for children. Bloodsaw's presentation will explore metaphorical links between our feelings and the natural and cosmic worlds. Copies of "Bewilderment" will be available at the library while supplies last, encouraging participants to engage with the text.
The workshop aims to inspire creativity and connection within the community, addressing pressing environmental concerns. The University Place Library's calendar will provide additional information about the event. The Big Read program, supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, highlights literature's role in sparking conversations about our planet. This initiative seeks to empower individuals through writing and reflection on the environment.
