REGISTRATION: Weather Class (In-Person/Online) with MC Hyland
A NOTE FROM MC: My writing--especially in my forthcoming book, Walks & Weathers--comes out of a life of reading, writing, and talking about texts and ideas. A lot of my reading, writing, and talking has happened in classrooms (and, in the past five years, in zoom rooms). I decided that, for that reason, the best way to celebrate this new book would be to create some classroom-inspired situations for reading, writing, and talking about the book's subjects: walking and weather.  

Each class will feature a reading list and a shared folder of optional out-of-class readings and resources, available a week before the start of class. Each of our meetings will include portions where we: 1) read and discuss texts together, 2) experiment and write with a set of structured prompts, and 3) share and discuss our writing from the day.

Some of the authors we'll likely look at in the Weather class (January 2026) are: Lisa Robertson, Renee Gladman, Bernadette Mayer, Zane Koss, Stephen Collis, Joan Naviyuk Kane, Stephen Ratcliffe, Dorothy Wordsworth, Anne Carson. In each session we'll focus on one of these topics: 1) weather as noticing and change, 2) anthropocene weathers, 3) forms of weather/forms of poems. 

Some of the authors we'll likely look at in the Walking class (October-November 2025) are: Kristi Maxwell, Urayoan Noel, Harryette Mullen, C. S. Giscombe, Joshua Edwards, Brian Teare, Linda Russo, Chaun Webster, William and Dorothy Wordsworth. The subjects we'll focus on in each meeting are: 1) walking as writing (some procedural approaches), 2) place and placing (history, ecology, and the shapes of places), and 3) walking and writing together.
