The final project in Ecopoetics was a group project in which we were to collaborate together and come up with a poem that in essence described our three week journey through the naturally poetic setting — Nantucket — and how nature evoked a deeper sense of self through written form.  My group consisted of Nicole Mangano, Amelia Atwood, Sam Byer, Rob Capossela, Connor McKay, and myself.  It was an interesting process to be a part of, as we were given a prime to follow, and write out about ten lines of poetry on different perspectives on how nature had influenced us over the past three weeks. It was really cool seeing how we were able to agreeably coelesce different peoples lines and mold them into one line of poetry.  Our group was different from the others in the sense that Sam decided that writing the lines out and cutting them out, would allow us greater flexibility in creating a more cohesive and easy flowing poetic form.  Len was very supportive in our approach and even informed us that the process we were using in approaching our creativity is a process that is in current use, and that there is actually a book on it!  Drawing a blank at the moment on the Title of both the approach and the book……..the blizzard left me numb and disoriented…… :-/But anyhow,  the result of our group project is posted in the pic above, hope y’all enjoy! Ecopoetics was a brilliant way to get us to think of nature as an art form, and Professor Germinara was an excellent tourguide through this transformative landscape…………Thank You Len, from the bottom of my poetic Soul!
