Join Caroline Wiygul, an Edinburgh-based poet originally from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, as she presents Poetry of Place: A Workshop on Climate Grief and Our Changing Homes. This workshop, taking place on November 17, 2023, at the Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh, is the second in a series that explores our deep connection to our surroundings and how it can help us navigate the complex emotions associated with climate change.

No prior experience is required to participate in this workshop, making it accessible to writers of all levels and in any language. Through a series of prompts and activities, participants will have the opportunity to draft poetry individually and collaboratively, focusing on the places they love, their memories of them, and their concerns and hopes for the future.

While basic writing supplies will be provided, participants are encouraged to bring their own notebooks or computers and, if they wish, a favorite poem about nature, landscapes, or home. The workshop will center on ecopoetic themes, with a particular emphasis on the concept of home and refuge.

Caroline Wiygul's work centers on the transition from girlhood to adulthood in the face of climate change, drawing on her own experiences growing up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Her poetry has been published in Outcrop Poetry and Little Living Room, and she holds a master's degree in policy and design for urban greenspace.

Don't miss this opportunity to explore the intersection of poetry, climate grief, and our changing homes. Admission to the workshop is by donation, and participants are encouraged to reserve their spot in advance.

Edinburgh Castle is amazing! Sitting high on a hill, it gives you stunning views of the whole city. The old buildings, cool cannons, and royal treasures make it super interesting. It feels like stepping into a storybook. A must see if you&rsquo;re in Scotland!

It&#39;s really not one of the most romantic sunsets. I&#39;ve been here, cold shock but beautiful shock! Multiple celebrity business cards will not be repeated one by one. But my only deepest experience is the lyric, &quot;The castle is keeping secrets for love, and I am keeping memories for you&quot; I didn&#39;t think the song was romantic until I climbed to the top of Carlton ⛰️ It was really speechless and beautiful! ! I really like this light blue gentle dusk ～～ Thanks for a little embers near sunset that day, let me see the light blue light orange sky boundary in the distance, really the ultimate romance ～～ constantly touching me ✨💕🌹 recommend this ultimate romantic, must go? [View] Medieval dusk 🌆, the only ❤️ in the world
