In 2019, twice in 2023, and in 2024, international participants gathered for two weeks to work together collectively and individually towards their poetic projects.

 

At ecopoetics workshop 2024: Colombia, our venue was a coffee farm in Colombia. We were lucky to welcome leading theorists and practitioners in the field of ecopoetics to present their work over Zoom. We were joined by Macarena Gómez-Barris, Zack Brown, Fani Avramopoulou, Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola, and olga mikolaivna.​

 

At ecopoetics workshop 2023: Italy, we gathered in a village in the Italian alps. We welcomed Orchid Tierney, Jonathan Skinner, Jean-Thomas Tremblay, Joanna Makowska, and Nuno da Silva Marquez to present the cutting edge of their work to our residents. 

At ecopoetics workshop 2023: NYC we had a day event, where 12 of us gathered in Central Park to make poems together. We then traveled underground, via the subway, writing, to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, where we immersed ourselves in a milieu of nesting herons and airplanes flying out of JFK. 

We also had a night event at ISO Studios in Brooklyn's Navy Yards, where noted artists and performers joined us to sip coffee and present our work. Thank you, deeply, to Jason Isolini, Rachel Keen, Sasha Fishman, Tessel Veneboer, Ibanov Castellanos, and the inimitable Edwin Torres for co-constituting a blissful coming-together.
