If this workshop captures your interest, you probably realize that poetry is a part of our daily lives. We will begin on Saturday morning by reading poems (selected and your favorites) and then explore writing poetry in open and fixed forms. Most importantly, we will share our work to strengthen our poetic voices.

The workshop will include a discussion of various poems, followed by a focus on writing and sharing your work. We will create at least three new poems during our poetic weekend together.

Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided.
