World of wonders: a multigenre workshop

In her NYT-bestselling book of essays and award-winning poems, Aimee Nezhukumatathil often explores the natural world, including whale sharks, fireflies, eels, dragonfruit, catalpas, monsoons, humans, and so much more. Using a variety of prompts and centering activities, including read-aloud selections from Nezhukumatathil's work, participants will explore their own astonishments and curiosities related to the world around us and how we move through it. Writers of any and all backgrounds and levels of experience are welcome! 

This FREE workshop is a collaboration between the Camden Festival of Poetry, the MWPA, and the Skidompha Public Library in Damariscotta. There will be ten of these workshops, each led by a different writer and happening during the winter and spring in locations around the state and on Zoom. Aimee Nezhukumatathil will be the keynote speaker at the Camden Festival of Poetry on May 12-16, 2026. 

Free! Registration is required.
