How alien! How mystical! Even more crazy, this video-game flower grows in your backyard!

Hi all! Chris Watkins here, one of the Fall 2024 Sustainability Fellows. For the past five years I have been working toward my PhD in Poetry with a focus in Ecopoetics, Ecocriticism, and Gender Studies while working on my poetry collection The Drag Gospel of Queer Jesus, forthcoming with Saturnalia Books. Last fall, I had the pleasure of working with FSU Sustainable Campus facilitating a series of environmental writing workshops each of which focused on a different genre of environmental writing (nonfiction, fiction, and poetry).
