Dear Jann and Tom,
I’ve so enjoyed working on our CoA-funded projects in the last 2 years. As you know, we’ve successfully published two papers supported in part by CoA (https://doi.org/10.1111/ivb.12393, https://doi.org/10.1093/isle/isad070), and have one more in the works on the pedagogy of science-poetry undergraduate education.
In the meantime, I thought this opportunity below might be of interest to some of your members: please feel free to distribute widely.
Best wishes,
Marjorie Wonham

Come and meet your malacological muse! Join Dr. Marjorie Wonham and Melanie Koenderman for our 2nd annual Exploring Ocean Mysteries: The Science and Poetry of The Salish Sea, a marine biology-poetry workshop and retreat at Hollyhock Retreat Center on Cortes Island, British Columbia, May 31st to June 5th 2024.
This workshop is for poetry-curious conchologists, mollusc-curious poets, and everyone in between. Engaging and experiential tidepooling and other seashore activities will be offered for beginner to advanced science-poets, with evenings devoted to sharing our biology-inspired works. There is also time during the day for individual or Hollyhock-hosted walks, swims, hot tubbing, body work, and of course their famously delicious organic meals. Some scholarships are available through Hollyhock.
