The
poems that you will find below are examples of the poetry that students wrote
during the semester. These poems allowed students to explore their relationship
with the natural world through creative writing.
This was not a class about creative writing, and students were not aware that they would be asked to write poetry when they signed up for the class. However, the topic of sustainability challenges each of us to think creatively. We have created the challenges which currently confront our world and our societies, and it will take creative, "outside the box" thinking to allow us to successfully meet these challenges.
Poetry writing was designed to encourage students to tap into the creative sides of their brains, something that few business school classes are able to do. I think that as you review the poetry that the students wrote, you will agree that our future is in the hands of some very creative individuals!
