I can’t believe we’ve already been on Nantucket for three weeks. It started out a little bit hectic but I think we are all settling in finally. The first course we took, eco-poetics, was really an eye-opener. I went into it not knowing how or why poetry could be used to describe environmental issues, but I have a newfound respect for poetry now. I think that eco-poetics was a great way to begin this semester because it opened my eyes to a new form of expression. So far so good! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us next!
