This Compost! Green Whitman

Join us at this outdoor Whitman-inspired writing workshop! Poet and U Iowa Professor Micah Bateman leads this one-of-a-kind workshop in which you'll hear and discuss selections from Walt Whitman's poem "This Compost," receive an original writing prompt, and enjoy time outdoors to explore and write in the beautiful environment of Whitman's Glade at Harvest Preserve in Iowa City.

This is a sliding scale workshop, and everyone is welcome.
