SUMMARY:Rise & Shine: Winter 2021 | Series of Odes
DESCRIPTION:Rise & Shine is a generative poetry workshop presented by Surprise the Line\, hosted by Nancy Lynée Woo. Started in April 2020\, Rise & Shine began as a daily writing group in response to the pandemic and NaPoWriMo. Now\, the morning meetings rotate throughout the year with different series. \nAbout This Group:\nThe purpose of this space is to generate new words on the page together. We welcome anyone who would like to start their day with an invigorating poetry writing prompt in a communal setting. Rise & Shine will stay free and donation-based to allow anyone access to this generative writing group. \nThe first hour is spent writing\, and whoever would like to stay and share is welcome to read their draft (not a critique space). Invite surprise onto the page! Discover what wants to be written on that particular day without judgment. Lean into the process. \nOdes:\nThe Winter 2021 series will meet Tuesday mornings at 9 am PST\, starting January 19 and ending March 9 (8 weeks). Our focus will be writing odes! \nAn ode is traditionally a lyric poem written in reverence to a particular object or thing. Modern odes allow a lot of room for exploration. For the purposes of this workshop\, writing an ode simply means “paying particular attention to.” We will practice writing close details of a specific object or thing\, with plenty of room to discover what else there is to see underneath. \n“Remember that all description is an opinion about the world. Find a place to stand.” Anne Enright \nEach week\, the prompt will include an example ode for inspiration and some starting points\, including a broad topic for focus\, if you choose to take it. Like all Surprise the Line workshops\, you do not need to write to the prompt. Follow your own inspiration wherever it leads. \nFor the comfort of participants\, these sessions will not be recorded.

SUMMARY:Suzanne Simard: Pioneering scientist discusses her anticipated book\, Finding the Mother Tree
DESCRIPTION:Suzanne Simard\, a pioneering scientist who has changed the way we understand forest ecosystems\, joins us to discuss her highly anticipated first book\, Finding the Mother Tree (Knopf). \n“Suzanne Simard’s Finding the Mother Tree reminds us that the world is a web of stories\, connecting us to one another. Her vivid manuscript carries the stories of trees\, fungi\, soil and bears—and of a human being listening in on the conversation . . . I have great admiration for her science and her storytelling alike. These are stories that the world needs to hear.” —Robin Wall Kimmerer \nThis event is co-sponsored by Emergence Magazine and will be streamed on our Crowdcast channel. \nREGISTRATION INFO COMING SOON. \nAbout Finding the Mother Tree\nSuzanne Simard is a pioneer on the frontier of plant communication and intelligence; she’s been compared to Rachel Carson\, hailed as a scientist who conveys complex\, technical ideas in a way that is dazzling and profound. Her work has influenced filmmakers (the Tree of Souls of James Cameron’s Avatar) and her TED talks have been viewed by more than 10 million people worldwide. \nNow\, in her first book\, Simard brings us into her world\, the intimate world of the trees\, in which she brilliantly illuminates the fascinating and vital truths–that trees are not simply the source of timber or pulp\, but are a complicated\, interdependent circle of life; that forests are social\, cooperative creatures connected through underground networks by which trees communicate their vitality and vulnerabilities with communal lives not that different from our own. \nSimard writes–in inspiring\, illuminating\, and accessible ways–how trees\, living side by side for hundreds of years\, have evolved\, how they perceive one another\, learn and adapt their behaviors\, recognize neighbors\, and remember the past; how they have agency about the future; elicit warnings and mount defenses\, compete and cooperate with one another with sophistication\, characteristics ascribed to human intelligence\, traits that are the essence of civil societies–and at the center of it all\, the Mother Trees: the mysterious\, powerful forces that connect and sustain the others that surround them. \nSimard writes of her own life\, born and raised into a logging world in the rainforests of British Columbia\, of her days as a child spent cataloging the trees from the forest and how she came to love and respect them–embarking on a journey of discovery\, and struggle. And as she writes of her scientific quest\, she writes of her own journey–of love and loss\, of observation and change\, of risk and reward\, making us understand how deeply human scientific inquiry exists beyond data and technology\, that it is about understanding who we are and our place in the world\, and\, in writing of her own life\, we come to see the true connectedness of the Mother Tree that nurtures the forest in the profound ways that families and human societies do\, and how these inseparable bonds enable all our survival. \nAbout Suzanne Simard\nDR. SUZANNE SIMARD was born in the Monashee Mountains of British Columbia and was educated at the University of British Columbia and Oregon State University. She is Professor of Forest Ecology in the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Forestry.
