Poetry Writing Workshop

Description

In these creative writing sessions, we will study poems and share lively conversation, motivation, strategies, writing prompts, and feedback. This will be oriented toward writing poems, but may invite other possibilities as well. Come ready to play and experiment with language & ideas. Bring an open heart, an open mind, your adventurous spirit, and whatever you like to write with: pencil and paper, laptop, or phone.
All levels of experience welcome.
