We’re excited to share some of the work created in Visiting Writer Erin Dorney’s Erasure + Nature Writing Workshop, held during the 2022 Kickass Writers Festival in August! Participants used nature-related source texts, including Martha Reben’s “The Healing Woods” to create their own erasure poems. Volunteers Lucy & Olivia gathered a variety of natural materials from around downtown Saranac Lake that were then used to “redact” the source texts.
