Join UPEI's writer-in-residence, Don Gayton, ecologist and award­-winning nature and science writer, for a workshop entitled Ecology as Literature. The workshop will take place on Saturday, February 8 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm in the Main Faculty Lounge Writers have often turned to science for ideas and metaphors. The young science of ecology has increasing relevance to literature. Ecology embraces ambiguity, multiple states of being, and reciprocity between humans and nature. The practice of ecological restoration incorporates spirituality with science. Ecologist and writer Don Gayton will open up some of the concepts and paradoxes of ecology as new material for writers of fiction, non­fiction and poetry. Workshop fees are $25 for one workshop or $35 for both, and $15 or $25 for students and PEI Writers’ Guild members.
